This is not to say it can't happen, I've just never experienced it, but then again, I monitor my connections like a hawk.
This +1. Every time I have had this happen the original flight remained until after the flight had departed. The OP’s situation was a weird GA induced issue, and if I had to guess where it happened it would have been DTW or ATL
