Yes, that seems to me the behavior I am seeing. Are you saying that
this is not a bug? It is certainly very surprising behavior. I had the
"make blocked tasks invisible" setting for months, and then only
recently started limiting the number of entries, so it took me quite
some time to figure out why I was seeing only, for example, 4 items in
the agenda when I was expecting to see 10 (which is where the
org-agenda-max-entries setting is) - the two settings are not
obviously related.

Also, this is inconsistent with other settings like
org-agenda-skip-deadline-if-done and
org-agenda-skip-deadline-prewarning-if-scheduled, which actively
remove items from the agenda view. I understand that the setting has
the verb "skip" rather than "dim" in it, but that's not enough of an
indicator up front to know that the two settings work differently when
it comes to counting towards the total.

What do you mean by that?
