As the name suggests, it wants a value not a string it would need
to resolve into a value.

In fact, "filtered_manage_options" 
(which is "App.Management.Tabs.filtered_manage_options") should do
this automatically.

When it does not, then, probably, there is some bug in your permissions.

Look at its source to learn how to use "validate" (by an example).
