Comment(by SimonKing):

 Perhaps I should point out in more detail ''why'' I believe that an expert
 for Steenrod actions  might be able to provide good examples.

 There is a general result of David Kraines, "Higher Products", Bulletin of
 the AMS 72 (1966), Part 1:128-131.

  __Theorem A (page 131)__
   - Let p>2 be a prime.
   - Let P^m^: H^q^(X;Z/p)->H^q+2m(p-1)^(X;Z/p) be the Steenrod pth power
 operation.
   - Let \beta denote the Bockstein operator associated with the exact
 sequence of coefficient groups 0 —> Z/p -> Z/p^2^ -> Z/p -> 0
   - Let u be an element of H^2m+1^(X;Z/p).
   - Let <u>^p^ denote the p-fold restricted Massey product of a cocycle u
 (as defined by Kraines, so it is a single cocycle, not a ''set'' of
 cocycles).
  Then   <u>^p^ = - \beta P^m^(u)

 In our spkg, one would compute this restricted p-fold Massey product by
 {{{u.massey_power()}}}

 I don't know of general results in the case of cocycles of even degree,
 though.
