No I haven't experienced that or heard of that but I guess it would be possible. That area of the block is pretty strong with not many large flat areas. I would think more that the surface has been made uneven by excessive "cleaning" with abrasives like sandpaper or a heavy scratch from a scraping tool, etc. But like your brother has mentioned, if it is warped that would cause difficulties getting a good seal.
