We have two such cases:

1. I have seen a number of European translations where the page size 
determines whether the book will be one or two columns. This in turn has

ramifications on how the text is rendered within the columns. However, 
since most of the single column editions were either trial editions
(like the 
NIV NT that handed out at Urbana 1976) or study Bibles (like the Teen 
Discovery Bible from Zondervan).

2. I have worked some on the teleprompting software which Hosanna Faith 
Comes By Hearing uses to convert black print translations into audio 
cassettes.  Occasionally in this system, passage like
       "Good Morning!" said John, "How are you?" 

would be rendered as 

   Narrator: John said:
   John: Good Morning! How are you?

In short, this sort of thing does not come up a lot but it does
happen!!!
