Yes, it has been said that superworms biting geckos is one of those urban legends, but it appears to really happen:
"In writing things may sound dramatic, and some people can be skeptical until it happens to them. A friend of mine was feeding his gecko a superworm. She saw his gecko bite once and suddenly the worm dropped out of her mouth. After that the gecko started refusing to eat completely. Concerned he took her to the vet and a bite mark was seen in the inside of the mouth which had began to show signs of infection.
Please smash the superworm's head prior to feeding."
