Order of [Me] and [Today] in filters


We had a strange problem today. A task list view had a filter with due date < [Today] and Assigned to = [Me]. Now when I go to set up an alert for this as shown below, which results in an error. The error is - Exception occurred. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80020009 (DISP_E_EXCEPTION)) It seemed a pretty strange behavior. I played around a bit and figured out that if you switch the order of the conditions for [Me] and [Today], it will no longer throw the error. Very quirky!
