But I get the idea *others* do? How common is this practice? Does it
apply to words ending in just a final [R], rather than a cluster?

Garnier have recently stopped using American(-influenced) voices on
their ads, (presumably) dubbing them with Australian. One change
accompanying this is that they're no longer calling themselves
\GARN-yay\ (/ga:n-jei/ or /gArn-jei/ or maybe it was even /-j&i/---I
can't remember), using /ga:-nje:/ (\GAR-nyair\) instead. Is there any
French reason why they should've been \Garnyay\ in the first place? If
not, why would it have been that?
