Somewhat similar thing does happens often with DNA evidence. Prosecution submits evidence where report was generated in proprietary software and company's employee testifies that the result is correct & tell the chance of false positive is 1 in 10 billion. Defense asks for access to source code to validate the claims and company says they are trade secrets & judge decides to not grant access and does not dismiss the evidence.

Depends on the lengths of the sequences being compared but the birthday problem indicates that it's more common than you'd expect.
