Pixels with ignore_index does not mean the model's output should also be ignore_index. It means the groundtruth label is not determined on those pixels and whatever your model's output is, its correctness is undetermined.

For those undetermined pixels, we simply ignore those outputs completely.

ignore_index is not used to ignore a specific category during the metric calculation, which is what you're proposing. ignore_index is simply notifying intersect_and_union some areas of the image have undetermined labels and should be ignored, and those areas are marked by the value of ignore_index.
