I agree about seeing the filtered tasks in the context of the tree - the items meeting the filter criteria being highlighted in some way (or the parents greyed). I would also probably want to see the children of the filtered tasks (perhaps automatically collapse these or have a tickbox to show/hide)
Newly added items should stay on view even if they don't meet the criteria (perhaps greyed or something) and should items whose attributes have changed such that they don't meet the filter criteria any longer (again greyed). Hitting F5 refreshes the filter The filtering criteria that are available in the ToDo view would be a good starting point for me. However, I would make a (repeated) plea for adding a parameter facility to the filtering in both views such that one can expose filtering parameters at the top of the view and change these without having to open up the whole filtering panel. For example, one could then build a filter 'Filter by flag' which prompts for the flag (or flags) to be applied to the filter and allows this to be quicky changed. This would reduce the number of view filters needed significantly.
