I haven't seen that- mostly I see early color and leaf drop. It makes sense though. Acer rubrum is a fall digging hazard so it will be under a lot of stress. The red pigment in the leaves, unlike yellow, is only produced in the fall as sugars build up in the leaves so if the tree stops producing a lot of sugars because of extreme stress you could get yellow instead of red fall color.
You could ask the nursery to guarantee the color.
