I don't believe opening is the problem; most filters need the device open.
I suspect the difference is that filter-usable once used
dev_open_readonly_quiet itself, which suppressed the warning, to use with
dev_get_size. Now the filter relies on dev_get_size to open the dev if
necessary (it's often already open), and that does not use the quiet flag.
This might be an effective alternative to suppressing all open warnings
(I can't say for certain in this case until seeing which open triggered
the warning.)
