Yes, quite frequently, if e.g. I make an error and overexpose a frame a LOT (like f/1.4 instead of f/11), resulting in "burned" frame; or exposing a frame without lens without body cap on, the light is strong enough to seep around to edges of frames around it. With colour film, this unwanted flare is coloured, often, which makes it uglier. I think it happens to every camera under such conditions, I have had it on TLRs, K2DMD, SFXn, even my new LX will probably behave same.
