pgAdmin will only alter the rows that you edit so the filter will always 
 be effective.... that said, I did fix a bug in RC1 yesterday that 
might have caused additional rows to be affected *if* your table has 
OIDs and a primary key, and the primary key has at least one column in 
position 3 or higher. Apologies if that one caught you.
