All the time. There's even a nectar trail on the ala (the "keel" that runs along the "belly" of the pitcher). Take a peek at these S. rubra ssp alabamensis seedlings:
My S. rubras are doing it too under artificial lights, just not nearly that much. The S. purpurea are dark red and drooling under fluorescents. Tough little guys...
My Sarracenia occasionally get "sticky lips" and if you wet your finger and taste it it's mildly sweet but, holy crap! That's a TON of nectar! I can't believe it's possible to get that much. My small Nepenthes ventricosa makes excess like that in the summer but my Sarras never have, S. rubra and S. rubra hybrids seem to do it more prolifically than others in my experience.
