Hi,

This is the purpose of the state.target_pid filtering : it filters wrt
the PID the event _applies_ to rather that the PID the event is executed
from. It's an important subtility applying to the control flow viewer.

It has not been generalized to have state.target_ppid and others yet, so
this behavior is "expected".

I can add this to the roadmap, but cannot say in which time-frame it
will be done. Help is always welcome.
