Dale,
After talking with a couple others, and upon the recommendation of a
mechanic who races the rotary, I'm going to install an overflow bottle to
capture any oil that's pitched out.  I think that if I mount it somewhere on
or near the firewall, it should be in a good area.

Steve,

   It certainly sounds as though, at flying speed, airflow
could be creating a low pressure zone where your vent tube
opens to the atmosphere.  How about terminating it in a
known high pressure zone, such as the NACA plenum?
