Comment(by nerrad):

 This bug also applies if a person wants to add a custom filter for
 taxonomies to edit.php . WP is expecting custom-taxes to have a slug as
 the query_var rather than the term_id and this means that the existing
 wp_dropdown_categories won't work for the custom filter.  Like mfields, I
 have to create a custom dropdown function for the custom filter.
