It happened once a year or so ago when someone put George Orwell's books for sale on Amazon but that person didn't have the rights to do so (at least not in the US). Amazon made the poor decision that the best thing to do would be to delete the book from purchaser's kindles and refund the money. After a major backlash and media attention, Amazon admitted they made a mistake, promised to never do it again, and gave the people affected a $30 Amazon gift card (in addition to the refund of the book price).
The only other situation is if you buy an ebook and then ask for a refund, Amazon will delete the book from your kindle (some people say this isn't true, that Amazon deletes it from your online archive and so the next time you turn on whispernet the book goes away. This seems like the same thing - it's just mincing words). I certainly think that's fair - you asked for a refund and amazon gave it to you. They want the book back.
