Incredible to you it may be, but I've seen it often enough, especially
over a Cappelletti/Hamilton/Pottage 2C overcall.

The same as you'd have done over the 1NT opener without interference, of

The only absurd thing in all this is that you apparently
believe a pair are going to dash out and typeset a set of system notes
before they appear before a committee solely on the basis that YOU
don't like they system they've chosen to play.
