I've thought about it, mostly from the "how to prevent it" perspective. The most feasible answer I came up with is "hope it doesn't happen." I don't know about other organisations, but some places I've worked use it. They tend to enable it only for machine installation, and disable it again afterwards. The one group I was with that made heavy use, we had a separate VLAN just for this. Enable PXE, change the VLAN, boot / reinstall, disable PXE, change the VLAN back. I don't know what might break if you blocked the bits that PXE needs to properly work on non-"reinstall" networks, but that could be a mitigation.
