I have noticed in competitive auctions that GIB will go on to 6 when game has been reached. GIB is especially fond of doing this when a contract of 5 diamonds or 5 clubs has been bid.

This usually happens when you bid game when partner has shown nothing. The bidding explanations then show things like 25+ total points for majors, and 28+ total points for minors, meaning it thinks it doesn't need much for slam. It is usually better to provide some actual examples though.

It shouldn't happen in cases you bid two-suits hand ( i.e. minors ) and partner picks one as negative choice. Bidding game is signoff.
However particular hand would be better as subject for discussion, but it might be snapped when there is doubled opening and later (cue)bidding and stop in some contract with silent partner at the whole time.
That excludes some clear situations like:
1♠ - Double - 2♠ - Pass
Pass - 4♥
GIB would never intend to penalize partner, always to improve score. Unfortunately sometime pair visions differ
