A lovely example of a published crossover with this is Flashman and the Tiger by George MacDonald Fraser. It's one of the standard Flashman books, but it has Flashie pretending to be a drunk seaman after having hunted Moran down in the vicinity of the Empty House (Moran was making moves on Flashman's daughter), and having to sit there and listen to Holmes making deductions about him based on things like his old German duelling scars, etc.

The thing is, while everything Holmes said is perfectly plausible and the most likely explanation for Flashman's condition, this is Flashman he's talking about, who has had the single most convoluted life it's possible to have as a fictional British political officer, spanning five decades by this point. Occam's razor might get you a drunken German sailor who used to be nobility, based on duelling scars and general condition, but no way will it get you Prisoner of Zenda style shenanigans forty years ago.

I always liked it, because it wasn't so much pointing out that Holmes was wrong, as such, as it was pointing out that life is sometimes a lot more crazy and convoluted than logical deductions can really allow for, even if we aren't all eighty year old ex-spies with the most insane service record in history.
