Yes, d_rek its happened to me before, loads of people and it will keep happening. Sometimes the work after is awful (I've even used that car metaphor before) but sometimes its what works for them.
I think you may have summed it up in your original post:
Even if what I had come up with didn't communicate their intent I believe my solution was much better than their current choice.
Their intent may have changed, making them look at the identity in a new light, forcing them to change and perhaps when they did, they had to get something done fast.
It may be a reflection of your work, or it may well be a reflection of their opinion on design. Either way, you got paid for your services, you can still show the work in your folio and perhaps when the company has more time/money they will contract you again to do more work.
Its disheartening, I know from experience, but the nature of this industry is perpetual motion.
