Has happened to me at Heathrow while going through as an outbound pax. UKBA has desks they can man just before security and they were doing outbound checks, questions, passports, etc. Rare, for me, overall but not uncommon either. I've had it thrice in 3 years with at least one flight a quarter out of LHR. I have seen it handful of other times while at the airport also.
