%TE1% ... problems

I have 2 mp4 and many mp3 files, filtered with %TE1% > 0 to find files with id3v1 - I use only id3v2 tags, option is set.
The filter found 1 mp3, I probably didn't updated.
However the filter found the 2 mp4 files too.
I tried the %TE3%, %TE4%, %TE5%, %TE6% filters too, however these brought all files.
I don't really understand this.

This has to do with how Boolean values translate from the numeric ones, if you use %TE1% = 1 it will yield a correct result, will look into it though.

In this case I don't understand why the %PT% > 0 filter operates well.

%PT% will return the number of images contained in the tag its treated as a pure numeric value

Had another look %TE1% will return a value of 2 for non ID3 tags

Now what do you say, is similar to the help:

%TE1% Has ID3v1 [ 1 or 0 or 2 for other file type]

From my examples I see, that tgf works fine, according to the help:
.......................................ID3v1........ID3v2......mp4
when %Z% file type is mp4, then %TE1% is 2, %TE3% is 2, %TE6% is 1
when %Z% file type is mp3, then %TE1% is 0, %TE3% is 1, %TE6% is 2
because the mp3 files only have ID3v2

Thanks
