I can asure you that it isn't common for any aircraft to be on the same runway another aircraft is inbound for in short final. What does happen alot, on busy airports, is that they try to pump the queue with very short interval time between approaching and departing aircraft and if any aircraft that is lined up doesn't take off right away, because pilots didn't finish the checklist yet or for whatever reason is that they let the incomming aircraft go around. But when told to hold short, it's pretty simple, you hold short. Going for line-up when not told to isn't normal at all
