Indeed. The classic example that comes to mind is Dan Hannan. He spent a while waxing lyrical about free markets and is in his own words an 'old whig' so pretty libertarian, and as a libertarian should be is perfectly relaxed about freedom of movement.
Going by this conference what he's getting instead is more market intervention than New Labour carried out, illiberal migration control and a bunch of extra red tape.
