I think I can confirm that.  I have

NoIndexFileTypes=*.class;*.so;*.aux;*.db;*.la;*.o;*.jar;*.zip;*.gz;*.bz2;*.rar;

but still I have *.aux-files listed in the search results.  That it
indexes class-Files is especially disturbing, because each time I
recompile a huge java project I'm working on trackerd slows the system
down for nearly 10 minutes because of its extensive file access.
