The red highlight to communicate the conflicting states will be applied to highlight-only conflicting states, but the result area displays the correct resutl for the selection and the Conflict state tooltip is not present.

| mediawiki/core | master | +1 -1 | RCFilters: Only show filter capsule as conflicted if it's selected |
So it looks like filter capsules representing highlights are red if they don't do anything because the filter selection excludes those. For example, if you select "Unregistered" and highlight "Newcomers", the latter is marked red. This makes some sense because the unregistered filter ensures there will be no newcomers in the result. But the tooltips don't explain that. We'll have to figure out what we want the behavior to be here.

which is correct
We might think more about what kind of indication for highlighting-only filters is needed (or if needed at all) for the following states:
