Yes. One of the baluns in the ARRL Antenna Book uses an extra180-degrees
of 75-ohm coax to drive an element in a 300-ohm balanced antenna from an
unbalanced 75-ohm aource.

A standard in the VHF and up world; it is used in the T-match.

Question - has anyone ever done any analysis or testing of what happens
to a T-match when run off the center frequency of the balun?

Your question is not clear. Are you asking about tee-match performance
or balun performance?

There has been an examination of the balun performance.

Sorry, I thought it was clear. The T-match, which has the balun as a
part. The balun was mentioned as the reference point for the center
frequency.
