I know a few election cycles ago in Israel, Kadima won the most seats by a narrow margin over Likud, but the right wing had scored a clear majority in the Knesset. Thus despite having a plurality, Livni wasn't asked to form a government as she had no chance at success.

This seems like it's more common in a parliamentary system, where it's the winning bloc that matters, not the party.
