Short answer - no. Long answer - this filter seems to work pretty consistently like the CSS3 "opacity" property, except it uses percents rather than fractions. As expected, I have come across bugs using it, but only in exceptional circumstances. No real reason not to use it. My thoughts on validation - I regard it like I do a spell checker: an essential tool, but not to be followed blindly. After all, if I write about the Sheraton Centre in Manhattan, my U.S. spell-checker tells me I spelled "Centre" incorrectly. Do I change it? I think not.
