Filter rules arrive over the protocol, long after the wrapper has exec'd rsync, so no argv-level check can see them. A client can name a merge file outside the restricted dir in a dir-merge rule and have the server read it in as filter rules; on a pull that needs neither --delete nor any verbosity. Pass --confine-root so the server bounds the open itself, which is the only end that can. Both directions: a dir-merge is read by whichever side its rule applies to, so unlike --drop-D this is not receiver-only. Skipped for a "/" restricted dir, where there is nothing to confine.
