And, since you have failed to identify the original source of the problem, you can't know whether it, or your fix, may impact other parts of the application. In a word 'dangerous'

I added code very similar to what we already had for similar filters. E.g. I added a check for existence of the variable before trying to access its properties. I see nothing dangerous here but rather a good practice. This fix eliminated problems for me.
