Very common...
When removing the old filter, reach up and feel where the filter seals and I'll bet you find the rubber "gasket" from the old filter is stuck to the side the engine block. therefore you are "stacking" the gaskets when you install the new filter and the oil will just push right between them.remove the old gasket, verify that you are using the right filter for that engine, intall filter, fill with clean oil, happy motoring...
This sounds like a defective pressure relief valve in the oil pump. If the filters look bulged or split, or if they're just blown off the base, that's what it's most likely to be.
Talk to the people who rebuilt your motor, they should make it right for you. Explain to them just what is happening with the filters, and under what conditions. If they disagree, have them hook up an oil pressure gauge and show you that the pressure is not above what Honda recommends for that motor- excessive oil pressure can cause heavy enough oil flow to erode bearings, so even if they can find a filter that will not fail you want to be sure the relief valve is working properly.
It's also perfectly possible that you have gotten two defective oil filters in a row. Not likely but possible- especially if you bought the same brand at the same store. Make sure to keep the filters to show the rebuilder, they may help him determine the problem.
