Actually, I have. It's an alleged phenomenon, and if it happens

For what it's worth, he's right - you're not addressing the point,
which is that it's not until you hit edit this page and get the
"you have been blocked message" (which also renews your block) that
you'd find out you've been blocked in the first place. Since being
blocked doesn't send a "You have a message" link or e-mail you or
anything.
Concientious admins tend to either leave a message about the block
or remove the second autoblock when it happens, in practice.
