I can confirm this has happened to me once. The drive went just a bit smaller than it was originally. Unfortunately I
have no evidence of this at this stage. It was real strange. Whatever I tried did not bring the same size back. It kept
being reported as a few sectors less.

It's possible to get smaller size at one point, by enabling HPA area
in a drive.  I think all modern (desktop) drives support this feature.

I'd like to see text that indicates this. I agree with the original poster that this just doesn't happen.

I no longer have the details at hand, as I have fixed it, and it was about 8 months ago last time I saw it.
