[Users] Interpretation of ~header ...

In searches I would expect that in
~header foo matchcase bar
the ~ means the logical complement of the header test. And it is until
one tests on headers that occur more than once in the same email. In
this case:
header received matchcase bar
means true if any received header matches bar but
~header received matchcase bar
seems to be true if any received header doesn't contain bar (rather
than the complement, which would be: no received header contain bar).
IMO this is not only perverse, but close to useless for practical
filtering.
