It's a thinkable scenario. Has this ever happened though?

This absolutely happens - and I'd argue it's not a bad thing - but I'm not aware of a scenario where things become more dangerous because of it.

Normally it eats up some percentage of the naively expected security gain, but my question is if it's ever > 100%?

Original claim didn't address severity, only # of incidents
