It probably happened with Ashford to Ashford (for which I remember
seeing a ticket from one to the other) and Gillingham to Gillingham, but
I can't recall a real life example.

I've certainly suffered the Gillingham confusion, although not by train.
A couple of years ago I was working in Canterbury for a client for a
week, and was told that I'd need to pop up the road to Gillingham one
afternoon. Despite being pronounced with a soft G it turned out to be a
return drive to Dorset

I once heard a story (again probably apocryphal) of a passenger
complaining to BR (as was) about some problems she had had at
Teignmouth station and receiving a reply which referred her to the
Tyne and Wear Metro as the correct organisation to complain to. Mind
you, at one time, the recorded announcements at Woking (and possibly
elsewhere) used to pronounce "Teignmouth" as "Tynemouth", so heaven
help the poor passengers!
