The code currently compares the quality in the received broadcast against
the worst_quality parameter and drops the route if needed and after that
calculates the local quality. Just like you said. The result is that there
will be nodes with quality less than worst_quality in the local node
table.
Now the spec is a bit unclear here but I agree that this behaviour is
somewhat confusing and it would probably be better to change the
behaviour.

No but I'll put it on my todo list.
