Some time ago I wrote report about warning user about non valid filters:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=137294

In a way it is implemented. Invalid filters are deleted. This is completely
wrong -- when you write a program, would you expect compiler output says:
"Syntax error: your source file has been deleted"

? I think no. So why deleting filter rules because of user omission:
a) warn user, correct
b) mark the filter as invalid (inactive)

ad.b) let the user _correct_ the filter, don't make him/her start entire filter
from scratch
