This question is a follow-up to Combining lmodern and tipa: I tried to filter the harmless warnings that occur when using tipa with the Latin Modern font. Doing so crashes both pdflatex and regular latex.

I haven't tested this on any OS other than Windows yet. 

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{lmodern}
\usepackage[]{tipa}
\usepackage{silence}
\WarningFilter{latexfont}{LaTeX Font Warning}
\begin{document}
\textipa{\textesh}
\end{document}

It seems like a bug in silence.sty; it doesn't show if we patch \wrong@fontshape:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{silence,etoolbox}
\makeatletter
\patchcmd{\wrong@fontshape}{\@gobbletwo}{}{}{}
\makeatother
\WarningFilter{latexfont}{Font shape}
\WarningFilter{latexfont}{Some font}
\usepackage{lmodern}
\usepackage[]{tipa}
\begin{document}
\textipa{\textesh}
\end{document}

The \@gobbletwo command is what disturbs silence working. It won't have side effects, other than a spurious "on input line xx" in the .sil file (if it's created).

Update

Version 1.4 of silence.sty (2011/12/06) fixes the problem.
