Certainly.

More importantly, it's a hazard to people.  And it's a violation of
the electric code.  Yes it happens, and my point applies: you'd want
to fix it before someone gets hurt.

I remember hearing that this happened at one of DEC's buildings, and
one of the computer rooms had this wiring issue.  It melted the big
"welding cable" ground straps that are used on RP04 class disk drive
cabinets.
