Filters do not work at least with the current views module (5.x-1.5, 2007-Jan-22). Apparently the filters would need handlers, see line 129 of views_query.inc ( "if (function_exists($filterinfo['handler'])) {" ).
Could you please fix it? If yes, roughly when can it be expected? If no, any volunteers (I am not familiar with this stuff)?

This seems to be a views UI bug, because the filter value does not get set to '***CURRENT_USER***' as it should in view_filter table. I am using the filter "buddylist_users.currentuid". A colleague has it working on his computer. Further investigation is needed.

The problem happens when the filter value ("Currently Logged In User") is not selected from the list when creating the view.
I checked and found what is missing from the buddylist filters: this is the
'list-type' => 'select',
line. See e.g. the following from views_node.inc from the views module:

'currentuid' => array(
'field' => 'uid',
'name' => t('Node: Author is Current User'),
'operator' => 'views_handler_operator_eqneq',
'list' => 'views_handler_filter_usercurrent',
'list-type' => 'select',
'help' => t('This allows you to filter by whether or not the node was authored by the logged in user of the view.'),
),

I guess that you need to add it to all of the buddylist filters. Then you need to empty the cache. I am afraid that saving the module list as suggested by the views module README did not produce the result. "Empty cache" from the devel module worked.
