The matching algorhytm for this rules did not check if the matched cluster did actually belong to the node.

For example if you had the following clusters

ClusterA: Host1, Host2
ClusterB: Host3, Host4

And these "Clustered services for overlapping cluster" rules

Rule 1) Service1 -> ClusterA
Rule 2) Service1 -> ClusterB

If Host3 has a Service1, the rule number one would match and assign this service to ClusterA, ignoring the fact that this host is actually a part of ClusterB.

This has been fixed.
