I am positive this was a bug but, I found the config interesting enough that
I was not sure how the OSPF process would handle summaries and an AS
External originating from a different area.

R1 R2
        X
R3 R4

R1 --summary originates here.
R2 --AS external originates here.
All routes show up in R3 with the /28 and /24.
R4 only shows the summary.

All routers are ABR/ASBR(R2), all touching area 0
All non backbone areas are local to single routers.
The topology is as accurate as I can get with ASCII. The topology is quite
a bit more complex but, not worth showing here.
The reason for no config is that this is a multi vendor environment.

Assuming R1-R2-R3 toplogy, the type 5 from R1 should not be filtered at
R2 given R2 is an ABR unless the area used on the R1-R2 link is NSSA
