Yes, I've seen it before.

Our fix was to cut a piece of 3/8" or so rubber hose, about 1 1/2" long and slit it lengthwise. We tightly hose-clamped one end onto the stationary part of the cable housing, and lightly clamped the other end onto the sliding part, until there was enough friction to prevent the "creep". This can be done at the transmission end or the control end, which ever is easiest to access.

Worked for years.
