I see them occasionally, in different circumstances.

I always figured it was because there wasn't enough ad inventory for the page, because the problem seemed to go away when I went from 3 ad units to two.

But lately I've been seeing them a LOT with remarketing (where the ads from a site you've visited follow you around the net) where they put the remarketing ads on every AdSense spot on the page.

Again, bad advertisers and a bad delivery system.
