I'm just guessing here, but try:
  cd ~/.config/darktable
  cp library.db library.db.save
  sqlite3 library.db "PRAGMA integrity_check"
     *** If you get errors here you have a db problem.  STOP ***
     *** Give results and ask questions ***  else proceede,
  sqlite3 ./library.db "VACUUM;"
  /usr/share/doc/packages/darktable/tools/purge_unused_tags.sh

open dt and try your selection.

If this solves your problem, after you are confident you may delete
~/.config/darktable/library.db.save
