Yes: because greylisting tempfailed at RCPT stage, DATA-stage ACL
are not evaluated. That one is consistent.

You pass the RCPT-stage ACL and then you get a match at DATA-stage. 
DATA-stage ACL (if evaluated) overrides the RCPT-stage ACL result.
Is it desirable? No idea, but at least this is the way it works now.

Well, the problem is that conjunction of RCPT and DATA stage ACL in
milter-greylist has never been fully specified, so you get some
odd results, sometime.
