You have checked in the right places and I am inclined to say that its almost impossible for the old values to be validated as valid, when saving a filter..
Since you say that you have even tried using the fields enumerated value while saving the filter, the only other possibility is you are checking it on the wrong form, or the wrong field or both.. Also, for a good measure, make sure that they don’t have the old value in the alias..

Originally on a form I had numerous values defined in selection field ID 7 (status). Several years later we changed the value and alias on 3 of those selections within that field. The actual 'numbering' did not change. When you look on the form everything is fine and has been for years. So now to the dilemma .... I have a new filter in which the Run If contains a qualification using one of those 3 'changed' values. It doesn't matter if I use the value or the enumId, after I save it, and reopen it, it gives me the OLD value. So really who cares, because I always thought everything really worked off the enumId in the background. BUT, the filter does not understand what it is supposed to do with it. No error on filter save. The filter runs when it's supposed to but fails qualification when that particular item does not match the run if. I've checked the form definition, the field definition, the field_enum_values data and it's all what it is supposed to be. Where is this old info hiding out? The filter is newly created. These particular field selection values have not been used in a run if before so never saw the issue. Thanks for your help in advance!
