Summary	0011116: Creating permalinks broken for plugins defining filters of type FILTER_TYPE_MULTI*
Description	When the URL is created for a filter permalink, the number of values selected for the given filter field determines whether it is encoded as an array or not. Plug-ins define their filters to be of a particular type and always expect that type in the permalink. filter_encode_field_and_value() only encodes the field as an array if there is more than one item selected. The checking in filter_ensure_valid_filter() expects an array regardless.
Steps To Reproduce	Select one item in a plugin filter field that supports multiple selections. Apply the filter and generate a permalink. Try to follow the permalink and receive the following error: APPLICATION ERROR 0000201 An array was expected but a string was received for <field_name>.
