Short description of error
Outliner - Objects Filter Selected, Hidden and Active not working poperly
In a new default scene everything is working fine.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Open the attached blender scene. It is the wasp_bot scene.
Go to the outliner and go to filter dropdown > Objects > Hidden
More objects than just the only hidden object (Mesh_light) are shown in the outliner.
Go to the outliner and go to filter dropdown > Objects > Selected
More objects than just the selected object (Helmet_01) are shown in the outliner.
Go to the outliner and go to filter dropdown > Objects > Active
More objects than just the active object (Helmet_01) are shown in the outliner.


In an new scene, if you duplicate the default cube a few times these outliner filters work as expected!

Edit: this is happening when parenting is involved, see also rB40a1c671655c

Something still not right with rB40a1c671655c, needs further investigation...
