Lots of people do. They can be quite subtle, like tension in the body, ‘whale eye’, intense eyes, feeezing, stiffened tail, change in wag, change in stance and a puckered mouth.
You're most likely right. There's been a confusion (at least on my part) between "no signal" and "no obvious-and-human-understandable sign".
Also, I didn't mean that it was their fault. I know it was mine in both cases.
