[SalesForce] Can you use a ListView filter with a StandardSetController without a custom controller or extension

I have a Visualforce page using a Standard Set Controller, and I'm trying to set the filter ID without using an element on the page and without using a customer controller or extension.

Based on an answer to this post it should be possible by using filterId={a ListView ID} in the URL, however this doesn't seem to work for me. Has this feature been depreciated (as I can't find any reference to it in any documentation), or has the parameter name changed?

I've also tried using apex:variable and apex:param, but neither of those worked.

SSCCE:

AccountSetPage.page

<apex:page standardController="Account" recordSetVar="Accounts">
    <apex:repeat value="{!Accounts}" var="a">
        {!a.Name}
        <br/>
    </apex:repeat>
</apex:page>

Then visiting
https://c.eu2.visual.force.com/apex/AccountSetPage?filterId={filterId} displays all Accounts, rather than the selected List View (which 100% does not include all Accounts, I've triple checked that).

It appears that the parameter was renamed to fcf at some point (or at least, using fcf as the parameter works when filterId is not always working in my experience). As this isn't documented anywhere, I don't know how supported it will be, but there does not appear to be an alternative (that I know of) at this point to set the filter on a StandardSetController without using an extension or controller.

You can set this parameter by specifying domain.salesforce.com/apex/{StandardSetControllerPage}?fcf={filterId} in the url.
