The only cases I know of are complaints against Wizards of the Coast; it's unclear from the available information whether plagiarism was really a factor, though, or whether novice authors were seeing shadows on the walls.
In the SFWA discussion forums, there is a great deal of talk about piracy of published works. There is very little concern that agents or editors might plagiarize one's submissions.
