Yes. The following ASCII art display the user table at the beginning
(left one) and after a filter was entered (right one):
headline headline
filter input filter <- newly inserted filter line
user 1 filter input
: user 1 <- user jumped down one line
user n :
user n
Both tables are aligned to the top of the page and so it seems that the
user table "jumps" a line down. This behaviour is very irritating because
the eyes lost focus.

I didn't know that. No day without something new :-)

In principle I would agree. The only point I could imagine is that a certain
dialog should behave always the same independent of the backend behind. It might
confuse people that uses two or more different wiki installations. But because
this is a admins interface this point is not so important I think.
By the way regular expression filters would only make sense with thousands of
users and even then I'm not sure. In mysql_class.php I implemented filters as
"email LIKE '%@xxxxxxxx%'", which should be sufficient for 99% of cases.
