And... finally should be fixed.

[O] Bug: org-agenda-category-filter-preset in org-agenda-custom-commands with org-agenda-sticky does not work [9.1.2 (release_9.1.2-99-g4d828b @ /home/cperl/git/org-mode/lisp/)]

When using org-agenda-custom-commands with
org-agenda-category-filter-preset and org-agenda-sticky, it seems as
though changes to org-agenda-category-filter are global, even though
the variable is made buffer local.

>From the limited digging I've done, it seems that setting the
:preset-filter property for org-agenda-category-filter affects all
agenda buffers, not just one.

To reproduce, take the following org file:

---8<---
* Foo
  :PROPERTIES:
  :CATEGORY: foo
  :END:
** TODO Foo todo one
   DEADLINE: <2017-10-13 Fri>
   - foo 1

* Bar
  :PROPERTIES:
  :CATEGORY: bar
  :END:
** TODO Bar todo one
   DEADLINE: <2017-10-13 Fri>
   - bar 1
--->8---

And the following elisp file to setup a minimal environment:

---8<---
(require 'org)
(setq org-agenda-files (list (expand-file-name "repro.org")))
(setq org-agenda-sticky t)
(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
  '(("f" "foo"
 ((agenda "" ())
  (tags-todo "+CATEGORY=\"foo\"" ()))
 ((org-agenda-category-filter-preset '("+foo"

("b" "bar"
 ((agenda "" ())
  (tags-todo "+CATEGORY=\"bar\"" ()))
 ((org-agenda-category-filter-preset '("+bar"))

(global-set-key (kbd "C-c a") #'org-agenda)
--->8---

Then run (something like):

emacs -nw -Q -L ~/git/org-mode/lisp -l repro.el repro.org

Followed by:

C-c a f
C-c a b
C-x o
r

I would expect pressing `r' in the `*Org Agenda(f)*' buffer would
keep the original `org-agenda-category-filter-preset' and that the
preset in `*Org Agenda(b)*' should have no bearing on it.  But, as you
can (probably) see from the mode line, the filter is set to "+bar", and
refreshing the buffer causes all the TODOs to be lost because it now has
the wrong filter.
