My favourite example is in Schubert's song Schwangesang D 744 (http://imslp.org/wiki/Schwanengesang,_D.744_(Schubert,_Franz) ).
The song is in a flat major, then turns to the darker mood of the variant a flat minor and its parallel c flat major (both six flats) and then reaches an absolute anticlimax on the word "auflösend" (meaning: life is dissolving) on the minor subdominant: a fes minor seventh chord (=> <fes' asas' ces'' eses''> in LilyPond language)! There's no way this could ever make sense in e minor.
But what makes even *less* sense is the helpless rendering of the original edition: <fes g ces d> (the d even being "resolved" to des).

As a further reference, showing the composer's original intention, the manuscript: http://schubert-online.at/activpage/manuskripte.php?top=1&werke_id=10149&herkunft=allewerke
