No, this has never happened that I know of. I just did 10 years in jail because of a mistake of putting an or instead of an and. Long story.
What happens is that the judges can go back to all the formal recorded debates of the legislators concerning this law to try and figure out their intent.
In my case it was just someone making a typing error because the police rushed into the legislative chamber and demanded a literal last-minute change to a completed bill. They fixed it six months later when someone noticed it. No helping anyone in the meantime who is affected by the error though. It is very, very rare that a judge will go against the wording of a law even if it is literally insane.
In general, the deference to 'legislative intent' has become less of a focus over the last couple decades. I don't think legislators have ever been called to testify in this manner, but even if they were it would not happen at the Supreme Court (or any other appellate court). Witnesses are only called at trial courts.
