I have sometimes looked over games of my engine in analysis mode with a
(different) engine, that has the idea implemented. I would guess, I looked very
fast over hundreds of games like this, and I never recognized the theme. But
this would not necessarily mean much. Perhaps I will try to search for such
positions in the 3 million of games of Dann Corbit's PGNs automatically. It
should be rather little programming effort to do this. Might be interesting.
There are also many engine games in those PGNs. In games of strong humans, the
players would perhaps agree to draw, before such a position is on the board.
Those games, I could not find automatically in an easy and/or efficient way.

Dieter
