Column A is a messed up with text and values. If you set all values to text in this column - your filter-operations will work OK.
Apparently LibreOffice don't like different formats in the filter-column, and I don't know if this is considered as an error.

If it is not possible to improve filter' speed, Calc may show message of slow speed

Well that was a miserable bug to bibisect - but it's done.

Confirmed
Ubuntu 14.04 x64
LibreOffice 4.2.5 release

Works fine in 4.1.x

Marking as:
New
Major - can prevent high quality/professional work - it essentially is a full freeze that any user would just quit and lose data in the end
High - regression

Would be nice to know if this is only with csv files.

I have never seen this bug in any files but csv.

The behaviour changed somewhere in the patch set c7bdee8dbd1cf260a8513a0d31b36f90daa70f1c..4c99a427ee4adaeddb2682c192384bad21d9d09b
which begins as below. Building the commits individually doesn't seem to work, so a single commit can't easily be identified.

    Define block types for string, edit text and formula cell elements.
    
    Also, remove the custom_ prefix from block names.
