Yes, for 4 years I did, and what they're saying is absolutely true. It desperately tries to lock on to something when it loses whatever it's focused on. Diligent owners just learn those scenarios so you know when they're coming. Others may not be so lucky.
For example, short, wavy hills in the road would often crest just high enough that once it couldn't see on to the other side, it would immediately start veering into the oncoming lane. I have no idea why it happened, but it did, and it still wasn't fixed when I turned in my car in 2019. I drove on these roads constantly so I learned to just turn off AP around them, and it helped traffic on the other side was sparse, but if those weren't true, I'd only have a literal second to response.
EDIT: IMO the best thing it could do in that scenario is just continue on whatever track it was on for some length of time before its focus was lost. Because it "sees" these lines it's following go off to the right/left (such as when you crest a hill, visually the lines curve, or when the lines disappear into a R/L turn) but only in the split second before they disappear. Maybe that idea doesn't fit into their model but that was always my thought about it.
