And my suggestion is not workable either, I keep forgetting the Filter templates aren't Velocity-based (yet, there's a RFE for that, IDP-827).

In a nutshell, yes, what it's doing is what I'd expect.

Whether you use positional or named, you can only plug in values, not supply filter operators and syntax. I don't know if there's a way to override the filter mechanism entirely, it would probably involve native Spring and some Java code.
