When reading it, I still think there can be confusion. One could interpret the docs as "there's this flag to filter headers, but non-system headers are always included, regardless".

Maybe something like this could eliminate the possible confusion: "The default value is `.*`, i.e. diagnostics from all non-system headers are displayed by default".
