Well that is the current behavior where non-discoverable devices are
not enumerated, the behavior of filters are bypass the discoverable
flag:

When discovery filter is set, Device objects will be created as new
devices with matching criteria are discovered regardless of they are
connectable or discoverable which enables listening to non-connectable
and non-discoverable devices.

Id wouldn't recommend setting to false except if the system is being
used with specific use case that requires to ignore the remote
discoverable settings or for testing bad or unintended behavior, well
perhaps it would have been clearer if I just include the above in the
documentation.
