I'm trying to understand why my test entries aren't being used despite including only them as subject tags.

Basically what I'm trying to do is retrieving the first item in a list. I've managed to do this (maybe??) as shown on the title page, but for whatever reason it's taking other entries as subject tags. I didn't see any conflicting settings on overrides/defaults. Here's the relevant code:

[test1.com]
# URL: http://test1.com?sid=12345

extra_valid_entries:prefix_category,prefix_ships,first_category,first_ship

include_in_prefix_ships:ships
include_in_prefix_category:category

include_in_first_ship:prefix_ships
include_in_first_category:prefix_category

keep_in_order_ships:true
keep_in_order_characters:true
keep_in_order_category:true
keep_in_order_prefix_ships:true
keep_in_order_prefix_category:true
keep_in_order_first_ship:true
keep_in_order_first_category:true

prefix_ships_label:Prefix Ships
prefix_category_label:Prefix Category
first_ship_label:First Ship
first_category_label:First Category

exclude_metadata_pre:
 prefix_ships=~(.*) & (.*)

replace_metadata:
 prefix_category=>^(.*)=>[c] \1
 prefix_ships=>^(.*)=>[p] \1
 first_category_LIST=>^(\[c\].*?)(\,.*)=>[first] \1
 first_ship_LIST=>^(\[p\].*?\/.*?)(\,.*)=>[first] \1

titlepage_entries:category,characters,ships,prefix_ships,prefix_category,first_ship,first_category
include_subject_tags:first_ship,first_category

[teststory:defaults]

category_list:Category 1,Category 2,Category 3
characters_list:Char A,Char B,Char C,Char D
ships_list:Char A/Char B,Char B & Char C,Char A & Char B,Char C/Char D,Char B/CharC

Result: (Calibre's tags showing prefix_category and prefix_ships as the entries, but I have first_category and first_ship in include_subject_tags)

Spoiler:

It looks like despite editing the string as a list the items still exist.
