You're not missing anything. Distance filters do completely disregard unit measures, and work only in pure cartisian space. Fixing filters to handle different linear unit measures is relatively easy, making them work against lat/lon geometries is something that no open source system is able to do (that is, afaik, jts, postgis, deegree, proj and so on cannot handle this, if you could point me to any open source library that can solve this problem I would be quite happy). So, if your problem is the latter, don't hold your breath, it'll be solved only when someone with good knowledge of ellipsoidic geometry steps in and adds at least a working point/line distance algorithm.
