Interesting.  I fed it your string above, and didn't take when I updated. it
returned me to my old filter (-.loc. +.loc.ca -lugnet.cad -lugnet.robotics).
I tried +lugnet, and it accepted it.  I re-entered my old string, and it
accepted it.

I do not know for sure if Todd has set up the syntax to work without the prefix
lugnet before a specific heirarchy or group in the filter, but my filter has
worked each time I have changed it.  I have included the prefix lugnet for all
groups to ensure error-free acceptance.

For example

I recommend
-lugnet.admin +lugnet.admin.general -lugnet.off-topic +lugnet.off-topic.debate

instead of
-admin +admin.general - off-topic +off-topic.debate

Get the idea?  This works for me, should work for everyone else, too.
