In this case, the FDR threshold is not honored. The explanation of this is complex, but essentially has to do with the Benjamini-Hochberg procedure not playing well with suppression factor when extended to more than one artifact mode.
The definition of FilterByOrientationBias will have to be changes from "guaranteeing less than 1% FDR over all mutations" to "guaranteeing less than 1% FDR in each specified artifact mode". This could make the filter more aggressive, so we may have to adjust the FDR threshold.

I have a real example that is close to the below fake example:
Say you have:
1000 OxoG mode variants and suppression of 1.0 (lots of artifacts)
40 FFPE mode variants with suppression of 0.0 (no artifacts).
100 variants that are not in any artifact mode.
FDR Threshold 0.01
In this fake example (where I don't show the p-values, which is an important piece of this) up cutting:
none of the 140 mutations (FFPE + non-artifact mode)
about 980 of the OxoG mode artifacts.
Unfortunately, this leaves about 20 OxoG artifact modes and a FDR that is much higher than 0.01. This is because the FFPE p-values are considered, which saves a bunch of the OxoG variants from filtering, and then the suppression factor is applied.
