Ah, you've found a problem with the second option. For the most robust solution, I'd suggest switching to the first option - a filter developed from the default Inbox filter.
Alternatively, if you develop the habit of always using the Rapid Task Entry dialogue to enter new tasks (Ctrl+Shift+M is the default Windows hotkey for bringing up that dialogue, whether you're in MLO or working in another application), then it will put them in the Inbox by default.
