Yes. Manila, Philippines (so Philippines ) took me under armed guard out of the 'transit' zone to identify my bag, and have it manually rechecked, before returning me to the box of 'transit' passengers. This happened to every passenger in the box, at 3am. It was a bizarre experience.
I also had to do it in Madrid, Spain several times before exiting Europe or entering Europe. I suspect it's the EU border, but anyway, I had to do it during LGW->MAD->JNB and JNB->MAD->LHR, and LGW->MAD->EZE as well.

Mexico is another country that enforces that policy. Had to collect my luggage in Mexico City airport and put it back after customs. Also in Cancun every passenger have to do this.

There's also Canada that has a similar policy, I had to reclaim and recheck bags in Vancouver coming back from Tokyo to Montreal, and in Halifax flying back from Iceland.
The Montreal airport provides a convenient guide for different connections:
International-International
If your flight originated outside Canada or the United States and you need to take a connecting flight to another international destination, there are two possible options:
If your airline offers the option of automatically transferring your luggage, you must go to the special International Connections customs counter.
If your airline does not offer the option of automatically transferring your luggage, you must pick it up yourself from the carousel, then follow the normal procedures for international arrivals, then for international departures.
