Yes, I agree.

In one of the G25 playoff games in the 1998 US Championships between Seirawan
and Kudrin to determine who gets to particpate in the FIDE championships this
year, Seirawan forced a KR vs. KN ending on Kudrin, even though they both knew
it was a draw. About 20 moves later, they agreed on a draw by repetition.
However, Seirawan was hoping that Kudrin would make a mistake and lose, or lose
on time.

I'm sure this happens a lot.
