Untested:

File Set {
   Name = R-without-strangedir
   Include {
     Options {
       Exclude = Yes
       Regex File = "^.:/strangedir/.*"
     }
     Options {
       Signature = SHA1
     }
     File = "r:/"
   }
}

The first options block should catch all files below strangedir (on 
any drive) and exclude them; everything else, i.e. directory entries 
and files in other trees, would be backed up.
