6 years and I've yet to call one.

False double fouls happen all the time. And I'd bet you've called one.

A foul during rebounding action before the clock has started after a free throw is a false double foul. A foul during a throw-in resulting from a foul is a false double foul. (These situations assume that a team member from opposing teams, not the same team, committed the fouls.)

It's not uncommon at all.
