Bizarrely, Edit the Web Part properties and tick Miscellaneous > Server Render. I know on Tasks view webparts that this disables the Timeline and Complete icon functionality but it

  1. enables the List View Tools and
  2. enables valid filtering (with Server Render unticked, the filtering is wrong!).
