What you expected to see, versus what you actually saw
I expected it to ignore the ignored packages. We want PRs for the nuget packages. Not our private package or the Telerik packages.
There are a number of packages that need updates in nuget, but this action failed as soon as it hit out private package and stopped.

I apologize if I am missing something in the config of this, but it seems like a bug for me. This is the first time I've tried this with ignore.

Research direction
Start with the NuGet update path and the supplied dependabot.yml, especially the ignore entries for OurOrg.CommonServices and Telerik.*; compare that configuration with the dependency_not_found log. Done means an ignored private package no longer stops the update job and updates for other NuGet packages still proceed.
