9703	Turning on key>value type filter causes unexpected exception	randoogle	team	"What steps will reproduce the problem?
 1. click ""Add"" under Filter window
 2. enter any key>value combination. Example ""addr:housenumber"">2 or lanes>2
 3. activate filter, and exception error appears every time it is activated

What is the expected result?
I would expect to see objects to be selected or hidden, based on the filter parameters.
For example, if I'm looking for all roads with more than two lanes, I would expect a ""lanes>2"" filter to show them. 

What happens instead?
Unexpected exception error message pops up, and nothing is filtered.

Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot if
possible.

This also seems to occur when I use the greater than "">"" in a search rather than a filter.
Also, it doesn't seem to matter what data I download ahead of time. I even grabbed this section that had almost nothing in it, and I still get the error.
