If you need to expand the $post->post_content for example, you apply 'the_content' filter. The problem is that when you do this on the admin side, and bbPress is configured to include the editor, it screws up WP dashicons and the editor.min.css enqueue. I suspect the reason why you couldn't duplicate the problem is that you weren't applying the filter on from an admin post editing page. Try hooking 'admin_init' for your test.
