It is not rare and there were some cases when it happened in the ssdf games.

The reason is the fact that the book of chess programs is often generated
automatically by GM games.

I do not like it and I prefer that programmers will use only books when
everything in the book was checked manually to prevent cases of draw or win as a
result of the book.
