Ah, that explains it -- P4Java is a complete reimplementation of the p4 client
logic (unlike most of the client APIs that are built on the C++ libraries, which
are still being maintained), and as far as I know it's been totally
abandoned for years.  The last change in the Workshop appears to be
for r14.1, which predates a whole bunch of P4IGNORE fixes -- anything you see in
the p4 relnotes after 2014.1 with a * (meaning "needs client upgrade",
which all of the P4IGNORE functionality is going to fall under) is not going to
work in P4Java, and when I was skimming through the relnotes trying to figure
out why you were getting weird results I saw that there was a bunch of work in
2015.1.

Maybe the better option would be to exclude these files from the client view,
since that's handled server-side?
