The expression is valid and certainly *should* filter on this (I
tested using Dirk Heiser's RegEx tester for TB). Without seeing the
source, it is difficult to tell what the issue might be.

I'm trying to envision how you have your filter set up. Are you using
one filter with multiple strings? If so, have you tried deleting this
string from the filter and using a another filter for this one address
to see what happens? If each address has its own filter, is "regular
expressions" checked for this one? If it is a single filter per
address, have you tried deleting and recreating that one filter? I
recall (very foggily) something being discussed on one of the TB lists
about a corrupted filter that visibly looked fine, but wouldn't work.
Deleting and recreating fixed it.

It doesn't seem like you've done so.

Let me know what happens.

Not a problem.
