Yeah, it happens on two of the 970 EVO Plus models. One on the older revision, and one on the newer. (I think there are only two?) It happens on both Linux and Windows. Uhh, I'm not sure about the kernel versions. I don't remember what I had booted at the time. On Windows I've seen it happen as far back as 1607 and as recently as 21H2. I've also seen it happen on someone else's computer (laptop.)
It's really easy to reproduce (at least for me?) and I'm pretty sure anyone can do it if they try to on purpose.
