After some more "digging" in the archives i found a similar post:
http://old.nabble.com/GoAndClearFiler-not-clearing-correctly-td22538944.html#a22727463
The problem has to do with how equals() is implemented for the entity.
My implementation of equals only matches the referenceId property to check
for equality.
So when filtering only for the property "name", the former entity and the
new one are considered equals
because they both have a null referenceId.
My solution is extending my entity to some filter-entity and overriding
equals.
Hope this helps anyone in the future
