This is the designed behavior. To get the behavior you want, you need to subclass org.jboss.invocation.InvokerInterceptor, override the isLocal(Invocation) method, and update your client-container configuration (e.g. the clustered-stateless-rmi-invoker section in conf/standardjboss.xml) to use your interceptor in place of the standard org.jboss.invocation.InvokerInterceptor.
