<G> My brother-in-law nearly managed to do that earlier this year. They were going to Panama City, FL (PFN) but their travel agent had them going to Panama City, Panama (PTY).

They only twigged to the problem when they rang their friends a few days beforehand and somebody thought the arrival time sounded odd. Managed to get tickets reissued with no major dramas, but I shudder to think what would have happened if they had lobbed in Central America sans visas!
