Steel Boats, Iron Hearts (book by Hans Goebeler and John Vanzo) tells that once U-505 (after it's faithfull encounter with a bomb that tore the 37mm AA gun from it's deck) tried to fire one of it's torpedoes but the "eel" hit their own hull and luckily failed to detonate. So, either by damage or other issues, i'm pretty sure it can happen.
