This is exactly as is intended. "BrowseAllow @LOCAL" accepts all
CUPS browse info coming in via all local interfaces (eth0, eth1,...,
ppp0, ppp1,... in Linux).

If you want to *deny* browsing info, use

  BrowseOrder allow,deny
  BrowseAllow None
  BrowseDeny All

It usually is also explained in http://localhost:631/sam.html#BrowseDeny
