use to make some digital modes users - as seen from USER command
instructions on the FT1000MP manual)."

I have an INRAD 125 Hz CW xtal filter in the 2.0k slot for the 455 kHz IF
and it works perfectly there.  No need to adjust any of the menu 8-5
settings via the USER switch.

I also just tried my 2.4k stock SSB filters (both the 8.215 and 455 IF
filters) on CW and there's no problem with frequency shift with those,
either.  The signal is still centered in the passband (I use 400 Hz
pitch) when I'm in the CW mode (either CW-USB or CW-LSB).

In the SSB mode, a CW signal is not centered in the passband (at my 400
Hz pitch) no matter what filters I select, of course.  This is as I would
expect it to be.

My FT-1000MP is a fairly late model, manufactured in February 1998. 
Perhaps there's a difference with the Mark V and the Field, but I doubt
it.
