It happened to me twice during the tutorials.  A rat that I was supposed to 
kill to get a key or learn how to shoot was killed by another player who 
then doesn't pick up the can, but just sits there....waiting.  I got the 
warning when I tried to open the can and thought something was 
wrong....after all, this is the tutorial and this is supposed to be MY can. 
However, I recalled that you should "trust no one in EVE," so I didn't bite. 
Just warped out and tried again later.  Another player might not have been 
so paranoid.  Granted, there's natural selection going on here.

Another trick involves two players setting up two gangs at war with 
one-another.  One player invites the noob to join his gang and the other 
player then kills the noob with no Corncord problems.

Frankly, I think all this is pretty funny now.  I don't know who'd want to 
waste their time killing noobs in the tutorials.  Natural born griefers, I 
guess.  After all, if you get killed during your first 30 minutes, you don't 
lose anything...and, as you point out, you learn a valuable lesson about not 
touching anyone's cans and not trusting every new "friend" you meet in-game.
