Mark, I can only add my own experience with this and no solution, more from
lack of trying I think. I find the same thing with other properties that
have ftDefault set. So if I have a number property (say year), and the year
has a default value through ftDefault, then it appears that the filter
always filters through something, and "clearing" the filter only resets it
back to ftDefault. I never got around to trying to fix this behavior,
because it only happened on one, rarely used type....pure laziness :)

I'd love to know a solution as well!
