I've had it happen and called it a couple of times (out of the thousands of batted balls I've seen).

It seems to happen when the batter has little bat speed or no follow through after contact. The batter swings, contacts the ball meekly, the force causes the bat to either stop at contact, or even deflect backwards a little bit, then the ball and bat collide again in rapid succession.
