Even with a rake of 0.00001% the overall amount of cash on the table would be reduced if people do nothing but shuffling chips back and forth.

I was reminded of a scenario that came up, I don't know, like a year ago, where all of us who started a table bought in for the same amount ... and a few hours later, one of us noticed that all of us were down like $20 -- seemingly "impossible" until you think about it...
It is truly a rarity, though. But I guess it can happen, especially in the short-term like the above example.

I've noticed this type of thing too, but mostly in low limit short-handed games (not even short-handed, heads up). I kept staying even and the other guy was losing money. And the house was winning. I think online poker rooms need to retool their rake for lower limit heads up and very shorthanded games.
