I searched around in the NTSB database to see if any such accidents
had ever happened, and wasn't able to find any. Which means that I
either did the search incorrectly, or no one's luck has run out yet. I
agree that it's well within the range of possibility.

I wonder how many of those CFIT accidents where the aircraft was
inexplicably off the FAC are actually a result of this.

I also don't think it's such a big deal anymore, because nobody I know
flies IFR without GPS, be it IFR certified or not.
