Well, come to think of it, I think I've also heard that too, but it's so rarely that it's the kind of thing that makes me pause for a moment. Not a long moment, mind you. :) But I don't think it's particularly more efficient, as I think /Insaid dZouk/ flows better for some reason... maybe it's because the articulation is different (you have to close off the nasal passage before you get to the regular oral stop).
