Can't say what is generally true. My impression would be that whether the BNE reads the final version depends on the confidence reposed in the copyeditor by the BNE.
But given the general proliferation of even proof-level errors ("ho there" becoming "hot here" and the like) in the last few years, I'm not sure who is reading what before they commit some books to press.
