I agree with you that it is not a fail, but when a wire supported media filter bends (and this does not appear to be an overly long filter), I want to question the overall design. Perhaps, in the long term, the bend means nothing, it just seems "wrong".
I agree. It seems wrong. The filter designs and the housing they fit in are not very well thought out.
