Taxonomy Filters Not Working Properly

Problem/Motivation

The issue I describe here was first encountered on an existing site. Today I recreated the behavior on a fresh new install of drupal 8.

I created a taxonomy tag named "vtest" for the Tags vocabulary.
I edited the "page" content type to include a field for taxonomy tags.
Then I added the taxonomy term "vtest" to one page that was published and one page that was not published.

I copied the Frontpage view. Then I edited as follows:
- changed the Path to /viewstest
- changed the Access to Role | Administrator
- removed all existing filters
- added filter: Content: Has taxonomy term (= vtest)

RESULT: the view shows only the published page.

EXPECTED RESULT: the view should show both pages with the tag "vtest", both the published and the unpublished pages.

Note that there is no filter for publishing status. When I add the filter Content: Publishing status (= No) the view shows no results.

SUMMARY OF ISSUE: When unpublished content has a taxonomy term and views is using that taxonomy term as a filter (has term = term), views returns no results.

Here are 2 screen shots:
