Is that a common problem? I’ve only ever played with a small group of friends, so my perspective is limited, but that seems like wild behavior to me.

Had a similar experience once at a convention. The DM was somehow obsessed with "winning" the scenario, as if it was a player party VS. the DM situation. He even was suprised when most of us flat out left the table after we managed to defeat the first major threat of the campaign and it then somehow suddenly turned into an undead version of itself, stood up again and managed to escape for no discernible reason other than the DM being unwilling to "lose" the fight.

On the flip side, we had a blast continuing the scenario in the partking lot on our own terms, without a DM.

Long story short; not a common problem, but IF it happens, it is frustrating and annoying and can ruin the fun of the entire party.
