To my mind, any connection involving a manual transfer between airports should be flagged prominently, perhaps even in its own section, as I've seen them listed when I've done fare searches on dot bomb with small, easily missed warnings about the transfer between airports.
Quite the contrary. Nobody here can even think of any carrier at any location which handles bags for ground transfers. It is not as though there is a cohort of travelers who have had their ground transfer bags handled by carriers worldwide and then arrive at NRT or HND to find that what they see elsewhere is not the case in TYO.
