Since this seems to be the only place on the internet talking about this weird behavior, I thought I'd add my cat to the choir. Covin (like witches, rhymes with oven) also does this. About once per day she will put the bottom of her chin on a corner of something that she is sitting on, usually the ubiquitous Ikea shelves. She holds her chin there, probably compressing her esophagus as said earlier until she gags and spits up some... bile? mucus?
She has been doing this for at least 8 years if not longer with seemingly no detriment. It is worth noting that she does have a persistent sneezing issue and there is some evidence for feline herpes. She had a scope run through her sinuses and they didn't find anything wrong. Looking forward to a vet chiming in with a theory!
