Hasn't happened on our Rolf Tandem wheels. But it's happened to several Zipp aluminum freehubs on my single bikes.

It's usually not a big issue. As you've found it can make cassette removal a little more difficult (pushing at the base of the cog with a screwdriver helps)

Worse case, it pulls all the way through the spline, and you have to get a new freehub body. But unless it gets to that point or is causing the cogs to move around, just ride it untill it wears out.
