You've seen this quite a bit? Are you sure about this?

Yes. I'm pretty sure I can remember what's happened in matches I've worked. I don't need to make things up.

Please describe the situation in which this happens. What is the player's rationale for jumping so high with his hands down?

I never said he jumped high with his hands down. He jumps high thinking he's going to get to the ball, then brings his hands down when he realizes he isn't getting to the ball, but his head is still above the net.
As I said, it happens in men's ball. The ball isn't necessarily hit into the head, but since the head is above the net, the contact becomes a block because the player is, by rule, a blocker.
