It even shows the contradiction in the GUI. 🙂

Is it just me, or is this a known issue? (Are rate limits supposed to affect only WAN connections?)

They are, by default. There is an option to also apply to LAN connections.

I personally use this one quite often actually, as many old/weak Wi-Fi cards cannot sustain high bandwidth that is normal on LAN, resulting in bringing down the Internet on the device completely.
