This has happened to me exactly twice in 100k miles / 160k km of cycling. I guard against it by positioning myself strategically, providing just enough room for right-turners to squeeze slowly past on my right. I realize some VC purists will object, but if I can do so without impeding pedestrians, I am not above stopping past the limit line, i.e., within the crosswalk area.
I also glance back at the first car behind me. If it is hugging the curb with the right turn signal flashing, I try to be polite and move left. No turn signal -- no special courtesy from me.
