Hmm... I've used filters with Rotary Macerators successfully in the past. The first thing I would check is where the filter is located. If it's on the top, it will try to take the blaze rods out instead of the powders. If it's on the bottom, it will try to take out the power source (or nothing if you don't have a battery/etc in there). The sides are the only valid location for extracting the blaze powder.

And it may be that only certain sides will work. The rotary macerator has 2 different textures on its sides, so try connecting a filter to one of the other sides, or rotating the macerator with a wrench (which is annoying to do because the wrench likes to break the block if you click the wrong side).

Also check what the filter is pulling out. If it's expecting 40 blaze powders but your rotary macerator only gets up to 20 when you're testing it, then the filter will never pull the powders out.

I'll try some tests on my own to attempt to reproduce the problem. Let me know if any of these fix it in the mean time.
