You're actually suffering from a second and somewhat more severe bug -
that the project documentation is way out-of-date. In your case, if what
you need to do (for the short-term hopefully) is to disable a single
filter, it should be sufficient to run `C-u f` and select the filter
which you wish to toggle (off/on). Just in case your keybindings aren't
set the same as mine, that would be `C-u M-x w3m-toggle-filtering`.
