I've had similar problems, and am about to procure for myself this cheap form of insurance. Is your shifting indexed or friction. I use friction and took great care to adjust the stopping point of the derailleur, but found it would occasionally (very rarely, but non-0) jump over regardless. It might be the fact of changing up (down?) multiple gears in one movement, or it may be the tension adjustment for the derailleur causing it to not be in the most ideal place when in the largest rear cog. I'm not 100% sure whether that causes that problem or not, but it's a possibility I'm considering. Has anybody else experienced similar and solved the problem?
