SimpleList doesn't know about child models, so it doesn't know that  
it needs to translate paths and iters from the TreeView through the  
filter to get to child model paths and iters.  I don't really think  
there's a way that such support could be added without undue  
complexity and evil tricks like checking for specific class names.
So, you'd probably be best just using a plain TreeView, and possibly  
Gtk2::Ex::Simple::TiedList.
