It's all just a matter of what you're calling it.  IIRC Light Blooming refers to a specific render process which this is absolutely not.

Anyway, you'd only want this applied to the glow maps, not to spec or anything else.  Applying it to the spec map would wash out the detail that the spec maps can provide.

Spec maps define the reflectivity of the object, so the light reflected should have "blooming" too

that, and to objects in front of suns.

You want raytracing too, maybe?
Yeah, I think what you call overexposure ( it's just a glow, but since the name is already taken by the slef illumnation maps... ) should be applied to the glow ( d'uh! ) map only, but should also ignore the black color, coz I tried the old build (  the pic is with the demon, above, is from me ) and it glowed even the black, which was very odd ( but, honestly, for some things, black glow could be hella cool, ah, choices, choices )
