inappBrowser overrides window.open and doesn't follow allow-navigation restriction

inappBrowser documentation says the following:

_self: Opens in the Cordova WebView if the URL is in the white list, otherwise it opens in the InAppBrowser

Does that mean that if i install inappBrowser and do window.open('http://google.com', '_self');
it will ignore allow-navigation and allow-intent tags restriction from config.xml ?

It definitly works like that and well it seems that documentation says it works like that… But i lost hours trying to debug it because it makes no sense.
