I think what the OP says is that the rez permit might be revoked (I don't know why they'd do that, but that's what I believe s/he's saying) but it has another 6 months printed validity on it.

In any case -- it depends by country. Germany, Switzerland and Austria have always scanned my rez card and refused to scan/stamp my passport. Spain/Portugal/Italy/France do the opposite (in the Italian case the passport wasn't even scanned, until I asked for a stamp.)

The amount of scrutiny also depends on which country's passport you hold.
