If the swr into the filter is high it could damage your rig just as transmitting into a broken antenna would. I think most people would notice high swr right away but a damaged filter that seems to be ok might not be doing its job.

Exactly. Depending on how it failed the filter might either present a high SWR to the radio or it could present a reasonable SWR but have no harmonic attenuation to speak of at all.
