I found EditCheck to also activate in Wikipedia: namespace on plwiki (apart from User: as flagged in the task description): https://pl.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=74668368

It's worth noting that the edit from other namespaces do not have editcheck-newcontent tag applied, so maybe the exclusion logic is somehow partially applied only?

Indeed! The check for that was actually correctly applying the exclusion logic.

Tech News:

[[ mw:Help:Edit_check#Reference_check | References Check ]] encourages users to add a citation when they add a new paragraph to a Wikipedia article. During a short period of time, "Edit Check (references) activated" tag was applied to edits outside of the Wikimedia main space. This has been fixed.
