Hi

This seems to be unintended behavior, but it is hard to say what should
be the intended behavior. I see three possible behaviors:

1) Explicitly forbid this combination (like combination of 'filtered' and
'export' is forbidden).

2) Find and show longest-match between filtered routes.

3) Find longest-match between both valid and filtered routes,
show it only if it is filtered.
