I have to think it happened at some point in the past, but don't remember ever hearing about it as an actual event*

I have not heard of that happening specifically, but perhaps others have. I have heard many instances of the TPG dinging corners, creating creases and staining cards' surfaces. Not sure they've ever fessed up to it voluntarily with their submitters. But I have heard a number of instances where the submitter noticed it, filed a complaint, and got some type of restitution.
I know that doesn't answer your specific question, but is somewhat related in concept.
