Synaptic does not list all manually installed packages in "Installed (manual)"

[Bakhelit]

In Ubuntu 12.04 some packages although manually installed (verified by: apt-mark showmanual) are not shown in "Installed (manual)". Reinstalling or changing the status of those packages to automatically installed and back (to installed manual) does not help. When custom filter is created for "Manual installed" it lists all manually installed packages.

If I understand it correctly "Installed (manual)" should list the same packages as custom filter with only "Manual installed" option selected (and this should be the same as packages returned by: apt-mark showmanual). In my case packages like apt, bash, coreutils dpkg, grep, and so on are not listed in "Installed (manual)".
