My thoughts on this...

It would seem to me that if the filter case is connected as above to the RF
ground that it would be possible to actually feed RF from the coil base
back into the house mains supply. The RF ground at the coil base is pretty
"lively" as far as RF goes and having the RFI filter case connected to this
"lively" ground doesn't seem right to me. 

Thoughts?
