When coming back to the main page from Meta, the usual questions show up, put the "newest" filter is missing. It re-appears if I click at the "questions" tab again. Is this a bug?

Not a bug and it's not missing, it only displays under the Questions section, never on the Main page. These are two different layouts and you likely navigated from Questions section to our Meta, then returned back to the Main site using the top bar link. Top bar menu does not remember which layout you had last selected on either Main or Meta site (tho there was a discussion somewhere if such should persist with cookies, I guess it was only implemented for display options in individual sections themselves, such as page size and active display tab).
