I've seen plenty of exceptions to this. The one I recall the most is Mexico like the other poster noted.

I do enjoy countries with either sterile international transfers or non-burdensome I&C (KEF, for example, where I've re-entered Iceland just because the queue at the restroom was too long in the international departure area), since I've actually missed connecting flights in several countries to bad backups at Immigration and/or Customs.
