While this behavior sometimes annoys me, it's intentional.  barnowl knows 
about un- and -.d classes, and strips all "un" and ".d" strings to get a 
base class, and then creates a filter that includes any number of un and 
.d prefixes and suffixes.

It might be nice to have an option that controls whether this behavior 
happens.

I forgot if it's been fixed or whether it's in the locker, but ":vc 
message" is or will be a workaround.
