Why "should" it be the default action?  Without specific reasoning
behind such a statement, it has no merit.

Seeing as it is a "habit" that you had to unlearn, it only reinforces
that this is incorrect behavior for this case.  Users should not have
to unlearn/relearn a common behavior just for a single control in a
single application.  The argument is not in consistency of coding
(i.e. all panels have "Next" as default, so this one also should), but
consistency of user experience (i.e. when I type something into a
search box and then press Enter, I expect a search to be initiated).

Whether the list is filtered dynamically is beyond the point.  Dynamic
filtering can stay as it is, just the Enter key should either also
initiate filtering (which is probably redundant), or it should simply
do nothing.
