Not as often as I'd like, but it's happened a few times in my roaming the world.
I also had this short stint as an illegal immigrant in the UK. No one (not even me) noticed that my passport was expired before I entered the country. The dumb part was that it was noticed as I tried to fly home, but my home country changed the rules a couple of weeks before then to only allow valid passports back. So... I couldn't immediately go home and I didn't have a valid visa in the UK.
In an unrelated face, did you know that embassies often close at 3pm? That's really early when you're racing from Heathrow on the Tube and around London trying to get a valid passport for a flight the next day.
