You're right it happened exactly once to me, that I can recall for sure, on 30 or so images that were all of the same subject and lighting.
Regarding .jpeg and RAW comparisons. Apples and oranges really. I know you're actually referring to percieved noise in an image, but testing for noise by shooting inside the lens cap is actually a method not unlike the dark frame subtraction used by the noise reduction functionality, and is ubiquitous in astrophotography. That's where it will *really* show up.
