Stumbled about this because of a mail on the dev@ list,
http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=dev&msgNo=14539

The patch looks appealing for its simplicity on first glance, but it
leads to only values being selectable that are not already filtered,
even in columns where the original filter criteria was applied. To
filter on other values, first the filter would have to be removed. This
is not what the user expects. Just a small example of what would be
correct instead:

 A | B
 --+--
 1 | 1
 1 | 2
 2 | 3
 2 | 1
 3 | 2
 3 | 3

Filtering on column A for values of 2 would display

 A | B
 --+--
 2 | 3
 2 | 1

The filter list on column B now should offer 1 and 3, this is also what
the patch does. But the filter on column A should still offer all values
1,2,3 to be able to quickly select another set, whereas the patch also
narrows these down to only display the value 2.

Furthermore, if in this state one selects 3 for column B, the result is

 A | B
 --+--
 2 | 3

The filter list of column A should now offer the values 2 and 3, because
both would be in the set of all values 3 of column B. The filter list of
column B should offer 1 and 3, because both are in the set of all values
2 of coumn A.

So there is quite some more work to be done for this enhancement.
