Well, I've read comments from people who swear they've seen this happen. I doubt that it's very common, but I don't want to assume anything, either.
I'm with you, I don't see any reason to think...

It's been a problem in the past, yes, but actual secession has not been on the table in living memory that I know of. There was all that hubbub over Texas, but if I...

Really? I would've thought the lack of ceceo sounds would've given it away. I know that not everyone in Spain talks like that, but all the Spain dubs I've looked at have it in full force.

Why only European and Latin American dubs?
