HI All,
I've always run filters new message in INBOX on receiving with IMAP accounts just fine.  In my case I am pulling them off the IMAP server though, and moving them to local folders.  I don't know why it's not working for you, unless you are moving to IMAP folders, which I have never tried.

Cheers,
Mike
