It is not standard industry practice as far as I am concerned, and the minute a client tries it, they are out of my good book.
In general, fuzzy matches are often actually all but useless, and unless very high (95% and over), it is often faster to just translate the segment from scratch.

It is absolutely not a standard practice. Even my most saving-minded clients omit the internal fuzzies in their analyses. Of course, my best clients only ask for discounts on repetitions, no fuzzy discounts even when we use previous translations :)
Yes, fuzzies are mostly useless, because sometimes reading an existing translation and finding the differences takes even more time than translating from scratch.
