I wouldn't call it weird, but, yes, it is rare.  It's a pretty normal
configuration when the filter acts as a filter and the handler acts as a
handler (in ithread).  In other words, it would be a replacement for a
configuration where a filter is used and the filter offloads actual work to
non-interrupt context via a e.g. taskqueue.
But, hmm, this functionality is probably locked under INTR_FILTER option.
