Clients that don't request the option should not be getting it. Do 
you have an option list overrides that are forcing the list of 
options ?

Correct, class declarations are always global in scope, as are host 
declarations. However, putting these inside a subnet can cause some 
"interesting" (and almost certainly undesired) option inheritance 
issues. General advice, just don't do it.
