I've seen it happen on other cars. Had the oil filter seal stick on my sister's Ford when I was changing her oil awhile back. Didn't catch it, installed the new filter (now with two seals on), and oil started gushing out. Luckily I caught it before I gave the car back to her. Rubbing some oil on the new filter seal before installing the new filter helps eliminate the problem.
