It means that *if* you can capture on the loopback device, filtering
should work. (He was, I suspect, asking about Linux, where there had
been a problem.)
It says nothing, however, about whether you *can* capture on the
loopback device.

Not that I've seen.
The *ONLY* OSes I know of that would allow libpcap (or anything else) to
capture on a loopback device are Linux distributions and the BSDs.
