Overheard a homeowner say drywall dust ruined their HVAC system

I was working a remodel in Austin last week and the homeowner mentioned their furnace filter was caked with joint compound dust from my sanding. That got me thinking about how much dust actually gets into vents even when I seal them off with plastic. Do you guys bother taping vents shut or just let the shop vac handle the cleanup?

Joint compound dust ruined their HVAC?!" That sounds crazy. I'd be taping everything.
