Yes, that is an extreme example, but I've personnally had it happen. North to South or South to North side is unusual too, bur I've had it quite a few times. Outboard to inboard on the North side seemed to happen all the time at night. Depends on what you are flying, too. Smaller, more agile airplanes tend to get moved around 'cause they probably think it's no big deal, while they leave the heavies alone. Moral of the story is NEVER cross any runway, even when you're cleared across, without LOOKING, even if you have to open the clearview and stick your head out in the rain to see the departure end.
Now, having said all that, I'll probably go out and have a "runway incursion" this afternoon.
