Is there anyone on this list who can confirm that printers that are flaged with 'DenyUser / AllowUser' will not show up on the browsing lists of the client if the client in question is not allowed to print on that printer ?

It is supposed to work and has been a feature since at least CUPS 1.2.  If it isn't working it is a bug.

(but keep in mind we only filter printers from desktop apps for non-root users - all queues will show up for root and from the web interface with the default configuration...)
