Comment(by jctull):

 This is still a problem. I tried for a better title also.

 The open file dialog populates the "Files of type" field with something
 like "my_shapefile.shp|layerid=0". Instead, it should only have the
 "my_shapefile.shp" without the layerid information. As a consequence, you
 have to change the "files of type" field every time you encounter a
 missing shapefile warning.
