FYI, filesets+.el is exactly the "attached code" that has the fix that Tom
referred to as being an "interesting idea" but a different approach:

IOW, tree filesets as originally designed are intended to work only via the
menu. filesets+.el changes that.

IMO, Emacs should at least clarify the filesets doc, so that users such as you
and I don't get the wrong idea about what tree filesets offer. That was part of
the bug report.
