Seems like MM_FILTER_RULE_TTY_WITH_NET overrides ID_MM_DEVICE_IGNORE

We did have lots of problems in the past with blocklisting certain
type of devices automatically, we were too optimistic trying to look
for TTY modems. I guess that is what you are referring to, bu that has
changed a lot in the past years.

Are those ttyACM ports AT ports, or some other protocol? ModemManager
would only probe ttyACM ports that report themselves as using the AT
protocol in the USB descriptors.

This is definitely a bug. I've opened
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mobile-broadband/ModemManager/-/issues/833

Your udev rules should have fully blocklisted the device, but they
didn't, sorry for that :/
Let's get this fixed.
