This is not the case, as far as I can tell. Still not 100% sure I understand what you mean, so perhpas you can describe (or better, perform) a test that would prove or disprove your hypothesis.
Here’s my initial test:
Item1:
https://www.example.com/path/
(Never)https://www.example.com
(Base Domain)
Item2:
https://www.example.com/path/
(Exact)
If I go to https://www.example.com/path/
, I still get two matches (Item1 and Item2), as always.
