I saw this example on Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey:

  • Poor Communication Kills: It's shown that animals can't understand human speech, and a lot of human behavior confuses them. As such, the animals could have avoided a lot of trouble if they knew what was really going on.

Does that count?

No, Poor Communication Kills occurs specifically when there is no barrier to communication other than the characters' flaws or contrived circumstances.
