I think that depends on the project backend.

The default implementation uses grep-find-ignored-files (which include 
auto-save files, I think?).

But the vc-aware backend ignores generally what the repository 
configuration tells it to ignore. Which would generally include 
auto-save files as well, but that depends on factors external to Emacs.

What kind of backend were you trying this command with?
