Here is small repro to demonstrate the bug:

```auto
kopia repository create filesystem --path w:\parent

kopia maintenance set --enable-full=false
kopia maintenance set --enable-quick=false
kopia cache set --content-cache-size-mb=1000
kopia cache set --metadata-cache-size-mb=1000
kopia policy set --global --ignore-cache-dirs=false 
kopia policy set --global --compression=zstd
kopia policy set --global --log-dir-snapshotted=0
kopia policy set --global --log-dir-ignored=10
kopia policy set --global --log-entry-snapshotted=0
kopia policy set --global --log-entry-ignored=10

kopia policy set C:\ --add-ignore="/temp/"

Set "ignore parent rules" with UI for folder C:\ProgramData (not possible via cmd line)

kopia policy show C:\ProgramData

Output

  Ignore rules:
    /temp/ inherited from C:\

```

The parent rule is not ignored.
