I haven't experienced it, but I also have never owned a Springfield 1911. This mode of failure does get reported periodically in the "Gunsmithing" area of the M1911.ORG forum, and there have been actual photos posted.
Can it happen> Yes.
Does it happen? Yes.
What are the odds of its happening to you? Small. (Feel better now? I wouldn't.)
