Though not related to the issue you point out here, a lot of the big publishers take submitted journal manuscripts and send them to India for manual editing and typesetting into the journal style, so when a journal asks for a specific format, most of the time they ignore your submission format and have the article re-typeset again. If you spend a lot of time re-arranging article submissions, it might save you some time to check with the editor first whether this is really needed.
