Yet over one day later the filter is still actively filtering, still global, and logging away (2)

Global abuse filters are cached indefinitely and it is invalidated whenever a global abuse filter is modified. However, there is a bug in the logic which is checked for when to invalidate the cache; it is only invalidated if the filter does have "global" set. As a result, it's not reliable in cases such as these (https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:AbuseFilter/history/89) so we should change it to be invalidated also if the "global" flag was set previously. In the meantime, a steward should probably check the global flag in the filter editor (and remove it again, if you want) to invalidate the cache.
