It appears that the filter is catching things that it shouldn't. In the
group a.b.teevee, there is a post of the Wonder Years in which
everything is tagged by the filter. Then there is a post labeled
50.Central.S01E04.A.New.Superhero [snip] that has its par2s tagged.
It's likely that there are many others.
