There is a problem here that the TT Book (ie the Badger Book) at least,
and I think the TT Manual pages, uses the uri filter as something you
can apply to complete URLs, so a batch of existing practice (incorrect
true) was broken by the previous change.

Personally I am approaching this by building a new filter that does
what I want to complete (or partial) URLs.
