Relative to captive springs going flying, had it happened on occasion. They always manage to end up in the most obscure location. Was taking down a 380 inspired copy of a 1911. I had a door slightly open about by an inch and at the end of the cupboard was a work boot and I found it in the boot. On a the recoil guide to a P14, I lost my grip and the plug ended up going to a bookshelf where there was a box holding reprints. I found it in that box two years later. Prior to taking such things apart these days I go to the bathroom and put plugs in all drains, drop the toilet seat-cover and put the gun in the tub with the shower curtain drawn. This way I can find the part. I have seen people lose such things at shooting ranges.
