Hmm, I don't know if that is a bug or by design.  All of the Exclude clauses
are processed for every file under the top level File= lines, so it only works
for you because top level included files (i.e. your second Include clause) are
always included.

If /opt/virtual/images is part of /, then it would be simpler to use multiple
Options clauses in a single Include clause like this:

FileSet {
  Name = puppetmaster-fileset
  Include {
    Options {
      wild = /opt/virtual/images/*
      signature = MD5
      noatime = yes
      sparse = yes
    }
    Options {
      signature = MD5
      noatime = yes
    }
    File = /boot
    File = /
    File = /var/lib/mysql
  }
  Exclude {
    File = /var/spool/bacula
    File = /tmp
    File = /proc
    File = /tmp
    File = /.journal
    File = /.fsck
  } 
}
