I have retried using exactly the same options you use but same 
behaviour. Bicycle routing avoids motorways (in Mapsource).

Yes, the ignore-maxspeeds is removed in the mergeroads branch.

Maybe, I will think about it.

Correct.

I cannot find this rule in the mergeroads branch only in the trunk.
But you are right. This rule seems to be removed in the branch. I will 
check that.

> I also see in the routing window of gpsmapedit that motorways (Road class 4/major HW) get a selection flag for "no bicycle" (as expected), but not for "no pedestrian".

Yes, I will check that too.

> If I check the img files of Lambertus' OSM maps it shows as expected, no bicycles and no pedestrian routing flag on motorways, and on cycleways all vehicles not routable except bicycles AND pedestrians.
