The filter media has to stand up to hot oil for 15,000 miles, so five minutes of cold oil isn't going to damage it.
It it swelled or burst or collapsed from oil pressure or lack of support structure, it would be in the middle of the length. Since it shows a definite spiral twist in the direction of tightening it indicates either too long, over tightening, or lack of lubrication on the filter ends during initial tightening, IMO.
