I've found it only happening 2-3 times, before it stops. Whether it pops up at all seems to vary from game to game. But you have to remember that back in the day, game copying was easy, but manual copying took some effort. (And Microprose typically made very full manuals!) So when somebody copied a game, you tried to find different ways around it, and this was a fairly harmless one.
Now, the copy protection I loathed was New World Computing's, that made you look up a page, sentence, and word from their manual, and input it to start a new game session.
