I punch one hole in the center of the cannister; have not tried the two that
Barney suggested.
Oil above in the cannister above the tube seems to drain back through the
tube, and the oil remaining in the filter is held there by the red rubber
gasket inside the filter.
I expect about a tablespoon of oil to spill, an amount easily captured by
one rag.

Not so sure about that, the inverted filters should have an anti drain-back
valve on the inlet, and the filter head should have an anti drain-back tube
going up the middle of the filter. If the valve is still functional (as it
should be) the filter will only drain as far as the top of the tube, leaving
most of the oil still in the filter to come out when you unscrew it.
Punching a hole in the bottom of a hanging filter *should* stop oil running
down the outside as you are trying to unscrew it.
