Well..I have. Not intentionally; I was direct-backing up (with dd) all 
but 1 of my data partitions onto another drive, so that included the 
volume labels. It still booted the correct partitions, until I used a 
kernel which no longer saw the correct partitions; then it tried to use 
the backup ones, didn't find the swap or the partition I didn't back up, 
and kernel panicked. I was confused for a bit until I figured out it 
what it was doing. But it did boot, with a duplicate root label.
