FYI, I created a different app ID, created another restricted distribution profile, republished the app and the problem appears to not be present.
Install is restricted as expected.
At first glance, it looks like if you have a distro profile for an iOS app that uses an app ID (wildcard in this case), making and distributing another app using the same app seed with a restricted distribution profile will not prevent that app from being installed on a device, even if you're using an ad hoc enterprise distro profile that is set to only work for a few UDIDs.
I could be wrong, but, that's what it looks like.
Cheers.
