This is not a flame, but once I was on a train in Germany and we went into full service braking for no obvious (from the passenger's point of view) reason. Luggage was falling out of the racks in the compartments and the corridor was soon full of worried tourists. After waiting for about a minute we slowly accelerated up to track speed. I'll bet there was some paperwork to be filled out about that!
As you said, PTC isn't needed if one is doing one's job. Then there are the other cases...
