Running In To Random Misencoded Qualities

Has anyone else ever randomly ran into the problem of misencoded quality scores with the GATK? This happened once before and now just recently again on a particular sample. The sample comes from the same batch as several other exomes. They were put through the identical pipeline. One ends up giving me an error about a misencoded quality (65) but seems to work fine if I add the fixMisencodedQuals flag. This is when using the DepthOfCoverage walker after marking Duplicates with Picard.

Pipeline is Trimmomatic -> BWA-MEM -> Picard SamFormatConverter -> Picard AddOrreplaceReadGroups -> Picard ReorderSam -> Picard MarkDuplicates

Two samples from the same batch went through the same pipeline. Anyone ever see quality scores get randomly misencoded like that before?
