Actually yes, it happened. I remember Sergio Focardi mentioning that in an interview, that's how they found copper in the powder. I think Rossi mentioned that a couple of times as well, earlier this year.
Have a look here for example, on page 2: http://www.energylabfoundation.org/energy/export/sites/default/energylab/Documents/News/110712_Intervista_Prof_Focardi__2_.pdf
[...] Comunque l’evidenza che il rame si formi e sia in una concentrazione isotopica diversa da quella naturale, dimostra l’esistenza di un processo di fusione. Il nichel utilizzato è puro, non è drogato e il catalizzatore non si trova nel reticolo del nichel, viene aggiunto in seguito nel contenitore. Inoltre siamo certi che si tratti di rame poiché abbiamo fatto delle misure spettroscopiche con la tecnica SIMS (Secondary Ions Mass Spectrometry) a Padova.

[...] However, the evidence that copper is formed and is in a different isotopic concentration the natural one, demonstrates the existence of a melting process. The nickel used is pure, not drugged, and the catalyst is not in the lattice nickel, is added later in the container. In addition, we are confident that this is because we have made of copper spectroscopic measurements with the technique of SIMS (Secondary Ions Mass Spectrometry) in Padua.
