I would have said that debris striking the filter and causing this damage is very unlikely, especially without you noticing it.

It may be that you managed to get the thing home without the oil pressure having a chance to rise enough to rupture the filter. After a 5 mile run it may just have blown the weak spot on the filter but almost certainly caused by the fitter or poor filter manufacture I reckon.
