This is not purely an AI phenomenon, although AIs are less likely to feel guilty about it. A game from the European Go Championship in 2002 was decided by just this sort of rules-lawyering ("obviously" dead stones were not technically correctly marked as dead, so one of the players claimed they were alive). The result was later overturned to match what a human player would expect.
