Actually after discussion this is by-design. 'Hidden' means hidden and it would be confusing to see it on the filters but there would be no way to actually see it in either the list view or detail views.

I don't follow your thought. There are two separate properties: UI:Visible and UI:Editable. In this scenario I have the first one set to "always". So it should be visible but not editable.
