Instead, please explain your real-world reason why 
you need the filter:
Do you have input that does not conform to broadcast?
What does other "professional" software do with that 
input?
Or does FFmpeg take input that conforms and produces 
output that does not conform? In this case you have 
(likely) found a bug that we should try to fix...

You created a formula that does not produce 
tv range as output (as indicated by the pix_fmt) 
but jpeg range. The scaler cannot know this, you 
have to tell it:
-vf format=yuv444p,geq=lum=X,scale=in_range=jpeg:out_range=tv

These have no effect, please remove them.

These should not be needed.

These just make reading the configure line more difficult.

This was never useful together with libfaac and is now 
obsolete. (No runtime warning possible!)

This was never needed.
