Unfortunately my workaround doesn't always work due to the automatic 
context inheritance (which I really don't like).

I do have another workaround that seems to be working better. Instead of 
creating a new task, I create a new sub-task. The new subtask will inherit 
its parent tasks contexts so it will usually match the filter. You can then 
edit it and un-subtask it.

Really I think the right solutions are to leave new tasks around until 
selection changes (and to get be able to turn off context inheritance).
