It is a flag for the sanitizing function not the validate filter, see
the main page of the filter manual function.
(Not a bug > bogus)

Description:
------------
FILTER_VALIDATE_FLOAT doesn't allow for the use of
FILTER_FLAG_ALLOW_SCIENTIFIC as an option, although it DOES allow for
the use of FILTER_FLAG_ALLOW_THOUSAND.
As both are valid FILTER_SANITIZE_NUMBER_FLOAT flags, why not the same
for the validate float filter itself?
Reproduce code:
---------------
$val = '34,200';
$result = filter_var($val, FILTER_VALIDATE_FLOAT,
FILTER_FLAG_ALLOW_THOUSAND);
var_dump($val);
var_dump($result);
$val = 'e34200';
$result = filter_var($val, FILTER_VALIDATE_FLOAT,
FILTER_FLAG_ALLOW_SCIENTIFIC);
var_dump($val);
var_dump($result);
Expected result:
----------------
string(6) "34,200"
float(34200)
string(6) "e34200"
float(34200)
Actual result:
--------------
string(6) "34,200"
float(34200)
string(6) "e34200"
bool(false)
