This bisects to 7e52b7661 (org-agenda: Fix logic of
`org-agenda-filter-make-matcher', 2020-02-19).  Jorge, I tested the
patch below against the test case you provided, though of course
confirmation that it resolves the issue on your end would be
appreciated.

I'll apply it tomorrow unless there are objections.

Subject: [PATCH] agenda: Fix regression in handling of non-caterory filters

* lisp/org-agenda.el (org-agenda-filter-make-matcher): Combine filter
forms with `and' unless multiple positive categories are given.

06cf532f4 (org-agenda.el: Fix bug when using category filters,
2020-01-20) modified org-agenda-filter-make-matcher to group the form
with `or' rather than `and' for category filters.  This logic was
tweaked again in a follow-up commit, 7e52b7661 (org-agenda: Fix logic
of `org-agenda-filter-make-matcher', 2020-02-19), which was supposed
to restrict the use of `or' to _multiple_ positive categories.
However, the follow-up commit incorrectly affected all filter types.
Avoid the check for non-category types.

Also, fix the regexp so that it matches whenever there are multiple
positive categories, not just a single one.

  * I'm tempted to drop the multi-pos-cats binding and move the
    expression in line.  I may do that before applying.

  * I'm not really sure what the behavior should be when there are
    multiple "+"s and at least one "-".  I doubt that there's much
    sensible to do here, or that it matters one way or the other.
