I'm putting together an overview of Drupal's various caching mechanisms. I'd like to put the answer to this question in there.
Filtered items are expired in order to keep the filter cache from outgrowing your hard disk. Since Drupal's filter is "dumb" in the sense that it doesn't know on which node the filtered item depends, this is the only way to make sure the cache isn't full of old data. On drupal.org I've modified this to keep the cached items for 48 hours. Last time I looked the cache table had about 250k entries.
