A recent one could be Peter Milne's "On Gödel Sentences and What They Say" Philosophia Mathematica (III) 15 (2007), 193–226. doi:10.1093/philmat/nkm015 debunking the mith myth that Gödel sentences are true because the they say of themselves that they are unprovable.
Sorry, I realize this is not exactly what was being asked. However, there is still some analogy with the pattern "someone was believed to do or say something while in fact he/she didn't".
