I have — when I was working for an university press, we had to, ah, vigorously remind authors of that clause, and when the emendations got really out of hand, invoke it. This was IIRC a problem with the academic publications, rather than the creative non-fiction that was most of the other half of the list.
I've heard editorial-desk-side horror stories -- but not one of those editors said that the author had been charged for the overage <g>. Reminding the authors of the clause, maybe -- but actually charging them? I'm impressing <g>.
