USA, Canada / Has anyone with a US or CDN passport recently been subjected to the "Passport Trap" in Poland? [29]

I've search online and read about Polish nationality law about how technically Poland only sees me as a Polish citizen, I'm not really worried I was just hoping to find someone on here who has actually experienced this first hand. Like I mentioned this is the 5th time I'm going since 2008 and I've never had a border official say one word about it even when it clearly shows Poland as my place of birth in my CDN passport. I'm actually traveling from Rzeszow to Toronto via Munich.

Little background, I was born in Poland and immigrated to Canada in 1990 when I was 5. Last time I had / traveled on a polish passport was in 99, even though I was already a citizen since 95. Fast forward to 2008 I travel to Poland on a Canadian passport and have gone back in 2010, 2012, 2014, and going again in June. Now I've never had any issues with border officials in Poland as to why I do not have a polish passport, but lately the free polish newspapers here in Toronto have reported numerous times on dual cititizens being stopped from leaving until they obtain a polish passport. Question is, has anyone here personally had similar experiences recently or should I just chalk it up as slow news days for these "rags"? My mother has been breaking balls to get polish passports for the fan as she believes everything in these papers. Anyone?
