This can't be done in TortoiseSVN. This would have to be implemented in
the Subversion library - there's currently no API there which can do
that. You should ask on the Subversion dev list for a feature like
svn moved missingfile unversionedfile
which then does a post-rename of 'missingfile' to 'unversionedfile'.
I think if you tell them your use case, they might not be opposed to that.

The filter works on the log entries which are already loaded in the log
dialog. I'm not sure what your problem exactly is, you didn't provide an
example filter string and also not what you would have expected to be
shown and what was actually filtered/shown.
Also, the filter string is treated as a regex string.
