[Openstack] Unshelved instance not being assigned to the proper host

I have PCI passthrough enabled for some of my hypervisior hosts.  Initial scheduling for flavors that have the passthrough assigned works properly, i.e. instances are assigned to hypervisors with the resources and once the available pool of resources is consumed creation of new instances fails.  When instances are shelved, I'm able to create new instances with the pci passthrough flavor and all is good.
The problem that I'm running into is that when I try to unshelve an instance that uses the pci passthrough flavor, the wrong hypervisor, i.e. one with no available pci passthrough resources is selected.
For example, I have two hypervisors: one with no GPU cards and the other with 4 GeForce 1080 GPU cards.  I have a flavor that allocates one GPU per instance and when I try to unshelve an instance, it gets placed on the hypervisor without any GPUs:

Is there a setting that I'm missing to use PciPassthroughFilter when unshelving instances?

Thanks in advance for any assistance.
