This fine Polish made specimen came out of the MIL's '08 G6 2.4 Ecotec, run to 35% of OLM remaining, on some unknown dealer 5W30. Don't think there are any actual holes, looking kinda squashed as well. Put in Hengst made ACDelco & 5W30 full syn Autoquest/WPP.

Are these filters too long for the housing thereby causing them to be slightly crushed and leading to media failure?

That's what I was thinking too ... looks like a lot of crush going on.
 
Any tears?

My Mann filter got crushed once after a very cold winter. I feel like driving conditions might play a role.
