I’m not sure how common this occurrence is but I’ve found an individual twice in the same census, once with their parents and siblings and once with their grandparents. I can envisage how it could happen, simply filled in the census at different times of the day, but is it a frequent occurrence?
Elizabeth McKillop is with her parents and siblings in 1911 in entry Class: RG14; Piece: 29265 at 28 Haty Street Middlesbrough and with her grandmother Margaret in entry Class: RG14; Piece: 29287 at 31 Dale Street, Middlesbrough.

In a word, yes.
I can't quote any examples but the question has been asked more than once on the forum.
(About three seconds later . . . I lie. )
Have just remembered that one of hubby's relations listed at home a son who had left home and was listed elsewhere but presumably (because I've not found him anywhere else) omitted a son who should still have been living at home.

Yes it is quite a frequent occurrence, not common but quite frequent. I think that when the forms were filled in they did it as soon as the form was given to them and then circumstances meant that a person wasn't at home and was put onto the form at another place as well.
