This is because registration of a filter by name is done at server scope. Thus, if done from a .htaccess file in one directory, it will then be visible in other scopes. The continual registration of the filter each time a request hits that directory will also cause a growing use of memory from the server pool (I think). Pity.
This may be something you could clarify on the httpd-devel or apr-devel lists, may be we're missing something in how it was intended to work.
