I've actually seen it happen, although almost exclusively on cars with pre-cats that are right on the end of the headers, and only when initiated by core failure

The turbine and the compressor aren't using the same air. I can't imagine chunks of cat hopping between housings 
You can look at a picture of a turbo and pretty quickly figure out that core chunks aren't going to wind up in the intake.
