Has anyone heard of this? Have you talked to a IH parts person lately?

You are not the first person that has had this issue. It just comes down to the fact that Ford does not want you paying 1/3 the price for the filters that they charge for them.
So, per contractual agreement the International dealer is supposed to tell you that you need to buy your filters from Ford/Motorcraft.
