The problem seems, that SCR tries to create Filter for a component, but was deactivated/refreshed in the process of doing so.
The API (http://www.osgi.org/javadoc/r4v43/core/org/osgi/framework/BundleContext.html#createFilter%28java.lang.String%29) says:

java.lang.IllegalStateException - If this BundleContext is no longer valid.

so it seems valid for me that SCR catch and silently ignore this instead of reporting this as an error of the component beeing activated.
