Are there any other flags that need to be cleared to turn off auto routed
traces?

I have a board that has the top section completely finished, I don't want
it changed by the autor outer.

I'm now working on the botttom section.  When I run the auto router for the
bottom section, the auto router adds "blobs" to several of the power nets
in the top section.   It is always a power net, never a signal net, and I 
don't see what is different between the ones it chooses to blob verses an 
identical neighbor that it doesn't blob.

I've uploaded an example to Source Forges bug tracker page.
