Please could you provide an example where you've observed this usage?

To my knowledge, que is never used as "you".

I can only conjecture how this can be misconstrued in the following example:

For instance, someone may say to you -"¡Que tengas un buen fin de semana!", meaning = "You have a lovely weekend! "

Hence you may think that "que" is translated into "you". But "que" here is a relative pronoun, equivalent to the word "that" in English.

What he said to you literally was: ( I wish THAT you have a nice weekend) where "I wish" is not said but implicitly understood.
