Has the following scenario ever happened:
A male peer marries a female peer in her own right. Their eldest son
then marries a female peer in HER own right. The latter couple's
eldest son then inherits all the peerages of both his parents and his
paternal grandparents.

Better than that - there is at least one example where the pattern
continues in the third generation:
John Rawdon, 1st Earl of Moira married Elizabeth Hastings, Baroness
Botreaux and Hastings.
Their eldest son, Francis Rawdon-Hastings, inherited all these
peerages (as well as being created Marquess of Hastings). He married
Flora Mure-Campbell, suo jure Countess of Loudoun.
Their eldest son, the 2nd Marquess, inherited all these peerages. He
married Barbara Yelverton, Baroness Grey de Ruthin. Barbara outlived
their elder son, but the second son, 4th Marquess, ended with a total
of one Marquessate, three Earldoms (there were both British and Irish
Earldoms of Moira) and seven Baronies.
