The fact that certain datasources (like shapefiles) are not editable when filtered is known. The behavior become less clear and inconsistent as described in #17124
I still think that filtered shapefiles are not editable and when a filter is set they still remain, but it's a bug. In fact is you save the project and reopen it the vector is not editable anymore.
What you observe is another issue (or maybe part of the above), it does not seems clear why that field should appear in filtered shapefiles (does not happen with PostGIS for example).

The problem is only occurring with masters after 313ec55 which has no difficulty in adding to shapefiles while filtered.

if editing of filtered shapes is now possible, then it must be so also after saving and reopening a project #17124
if editing of filtered shapes should not be possible (as it was in the past), then again #17124 because after applying the filter the shape should not be editable.

That bug that means you have to muck around and close/reopen a project has been in Qgis since the beginning of time, however the one putting this extra field in and refusing to save new features has appeared in fairly recent editions of master.

no, I can't remember when it changed but adding a filter to a shapefile rendered it not editable until not long ago (and I believe that this could be still the correct behavior).

It is actually possible to filter a shapefile and then edit it, this is something I use from time to time.

if you save the project, close qgis, and then reopen qgis and the project the shapefile is not editable anymore, and this is what #17124 is about. One way or the other the situation must be untangled, and this issue you reported it could be very well (or not) a completely different thing.

Please check if this issue is still valid on QGIS 3.4.5 or 3.6.
