Some Motorola phones will do this. At least I know the RAZR series would.
They wouldn't display any sort of message. They'd just refuse to charge.

A: Because it fouls the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
A: Top-posting.

And these
days, USB also helps clean up the mobile phone charger
mess: an increasing number of new phones just use USB with a micro
USB connector instead of every phone needing its very own wallwart
with a very special connector.
The connector is not all there is to it. I recently ran into a device
(not a phone, but it wouldn't surprise me if phones did the same thing)
that, if you plug in the wrong charger, even though the connector is
correct, displays a snarky message about how you have to use the
charger and cable that came with the device, and refuses to charge.
