Not an answer, but I would think that one could find examples among ill considered government regulations which have the opposite of the intended effect. I'll let you know if any concrete examples occur to me.
The difficulty here in my mind is with satisfying the requirement "experimentally verified." To this end Armok GoB's suggestion of looking to physics or math sounds good.
in the spirit of unintended consequences: a day care in Israel charged a fine to parents who were late picking up their children, with the unintended result that more parents were late picking up their kids, because they treated the fine as a "fee."
That can be easily as bad as religious samples. Many people are really invested in their favorite goverment policy.
I suggestion would be to sample history or to some degree oddities of foreign cultures.
Or, for that matter, invested in the idea that government regulation will never outperform nonregulation.
