Calling procedures are supposed to catch this and either try other methods or give up and return unevaluated. If a caller neglects to do this, it is a bug. Also the Mathematica evaluator eventually notices $$Failure, prior to returning a final result, and attempts the removal that led to the output you describe. If you have specific examples of this in recent versions, you could report them as bugs to support at wolfram.com. Or send them to me, if you prefer. Either way it is best if you simplify the examples to the extent reasonable. Daniel Lichtblau WOlfram Research
