If a filter has a custom filter identifier and you add a placeholder text for that filter in the exposed form options the placeholder is not shown in the form field for that filter.

This is caused by the fact that the #placeholder key is added to the original filter identifier instead of the custom filter identifier.

I think all that's needed is to change the array index from $label to $field_id.
