Isn't that a code violation since it results in the neutral
being switched? Definitely seems like a bad thing to
do. Doing it the above way, there could be power at
the light with the switch being off, leading to a nasty
surprise.

True, but I never said it was a safe way to do it. Just that it DOES
happen. I've seen one recently.

BTW, I also know of an electrician installing a 3-prong 240V outlet for
a dryer. That was a code violation too.
