"If an encoder decides that it's worth it"
Encoders aren't perfect. These things depend on tunable parameters that the encoder developers set for you based on their testing. Sometimes they make mistakes, or they tune it in a way which fits a certain audio sample well but there might be another audio sample where it doesn't work well. Some encoders (such as reference Vorbis) provides flags for the user to override default parameters, although one normally would not do so.
