Way to prevent duplicates in playlists doesn't work for Favorites playlist

Way to prevent duplicates in playlists is a great feature but it doesn't work for the Favorites playlist (see picture). It doesn't ask me if I want to skip or to add a duplicated track, it is just added anyway. Is this a feature or a bug?

Is it possible to omit all songs of a specific genre?
