It also happens on Windows 10 on my XPS 13. I've been blaming Microsoft for it but I'm not too sure if Dell is involved now.

My MacBook does this all the time when using Parallels. That, or it hard-crashes.
I had the same problem with my trusty eeepc running debian wheezy. It got fixed at some point though since it hasn't happened in years.
Anecdata - I use Ubuntu 16.04 on an XPS 13. This has never happened to me.
Just another sample-of-1 statistics: XPS 13 9333 owner here, with Windows 10, never had that issue. I've seen it on Windows 7 on my Dell XPS 8500 desktop PC though - and I had gone through all events and devices and disabled any settings that might wake up the system for any reason.
Happens on Lenovo Yoga 15 as well. Or at least happened, haven't had the problem since last reinstall.
Yoga 2 pro as well. Was common with Ubuntu 15, now it is rare with Ubuntu 16. I used to think this was a straight up Linux / Ubuntu bug, but seeing the anecdotes here for the other major OSs', and for other laptops, makes me think that all laptops have one crazy bad chip that controls power and cooling. Is that the BIOS' job?
Mine is Windows, so yes, not only Ubuntu.

I got my screen replaced after hot air had miscolored the part right above the taskbar.
