Why is my FC block shown on the website home page?

No kepol,
the "Use the content types selected below" radio button is selected.

But, as the problem could be related to my other filters, I attach a snapshot of the admin screen.

Here it is!

Unfortunately I cannot give you a public URL as I am developing the website on my home PC.
My home page is, for the moment, the default Drupal "node summary".

I will try to change the taxonomy terms matching as you suggested and see what happens.

I will also try to work with the FC module on a different installation here at work: I will let you know if I find a solution (or other "weird" behaviour).

PS
the screenshot was taken with Firefox + FireShot extension

I looked to the module code, added some debugging and, though I am in no way a Drupal module programmer, I think there is a bug in the featured_content_view function.
After getting the block configuration with featured_content_get_block_data, the function tries to establish if the block has to be shown on the current page with the following code:

  // check visibility settings to see if block should be shown
  $show = TRUE;
  if ($type == null && arg(0) == 'node' && is_numeric(arg(1))) {
    // only check on node pages for now
    $this_node = node_load(arg(1));
    if ($this_node->nid) {
      if (! empty($featured_content['visibility']['content_types']['selected']) &&
          ! in_array($this_node->type, $featured_content['visibility']['content_types']['selected'])) {
        $show = FALSE;
      }
      if (! empty($featured_content['visibility']['users']['selected']) &&
          ! in_array($this_node->uid, $featured_content['visibility']['users']['selected'])) {
        $show = FALSE;
      }
      $vocabularies = taxonomy_get_vocabularies();
      foreach ($vocabularies as $vocabulary) {
        $vid = $vocabulary->vid;
        if (! empty($featured_content['visibility']['vocab'][$vid]['selected'])) {
          $tid_intersect = array_intersect(
              $featured_content['visibility']['vocab'][$vid]['selected'], 
              array_keys($this_node->taxonomy));
          if (empty($this_node->taxonomy) || empty($tid_intersect)) {
            $show = FALSE;
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }

When the default Drupal homepage is shown, the code evaluates the condition in the first if and find it FALSE, because arg(1) is empty. So, as you set the default value of $show to TRUE, the block is shown.
But this is not the expected behavior, as I set the block visibility settings to only show the block on specific content types.

Thanks Kristen,
now the block is shown where expected.

I think that the FC block should not be shown when a page is edited.

I propose to change one line in your code from

  if ($type == null && arg(0) == 'node' && is_numeric(arg(1))) {

to

  if ($type == null && arg(0) == 'node' && is_numeric(arg(1)) && (arg(2) != 'edit') ) {
