Yep, and I have on many occasions found myself over "correcting" and doing one too many reversals. It's easy since you are looking at the back as you put the keys back in place, and "know" that you need to "compensate". The whole thing is tricky to catch since often you spill everything if you attempt to peek and see if everything is going right. Been there, done that.
Still, I can't help thinking that most people would notice and fix it. Thus the possibility of being left deliberately for entertainment value. Also, it makes for people not liking to "borrow" your calculator since they have to think too much. It does have a sort of geek cachet for the owner that can drive such a beast and still be productive. ;)
I've known of people that do such things like switching keycaps around or painting over the legends so that other who don't touch-type very well will leave their equipment alone in the workplace.
