Why would double o-ringing the filter cause it to pop off?

Sure it will cause a leak, but pop off, that quick....its not a tapered thread.

My guess was either the filter was defective or it was over tightened. Do you still have it? What do the threads look like?

You think the second O-ring blew out when oil pressure built up and the filter spun off? Maybe.
