Correction to my last comment, I just checked and sharpen does seem to work but blur has no dialog , it just does a blur with an uncontrolled radius.

The ensuing "Reshow Blur" had nothing to reshow and just adds another uncontrolled blur.

:?

Yeah, this is entirely normal and as intended (I believe). The clue is in the lack of "..." after the name of the filter in the menu. E.g., the gaussian blur does have a dialog in which you can set options, and so its name is "Gaussian blur...", as against just plain "Blur".
Note though that my email (and this bug) is specifically about the special case where the active layer is smaller than the image and the selection doesn't overlap with it at all.
