I don't know about an official limud, but it's surely no accident that 
in the 2nd parsha of sh'ma the consequence of va`avadtem is va'avadtem. 
File it under "wordplay in Tanach".

Speaking of which, I recently noticed an example of zeugma in halacha. 
In the Ashkenazi nusach of a get the word "deyasva" is used in two 
different senses simultaneously: "is located" and "subsists".  (Thanks 
to REMT for informing me that the Sefardi nusach uses two words, 
"deyasva" and "demistapka".)
