Yes, this has kind of happened to me.
They asked me how I felt about the money. I said I was worth the full rate (they were paying a middle man service) but was happy with the situation. Basically I stated my value. Contract ended.
My primal response was, dang I just screwed up something good. But after my brain kicked in, I had a feeling that anyone who's going to bait me by asking about my compensation and then get mad at the response would end up being a strange client.
It all depends on what they were paying you... you gotta get yours... what I learned from the experience was to just STFU if you're ok with the deal...
