I know this is very common for those that practice jazz. Many of the jazz majors in my school used this type (not exactly like this) of usage. Where classical players would put the big beat on 1 and 3, jazz players would put the big beat on 2 and 4.
Also, a classical saxophone teacher (he also played jazz a lot though) liked to practice by putting the metronome on just about every possible place you could. If you are were working on a 16th note run he would advise practicing with the metronome on the beats as normal. Then let the metronome represent the back beat (as in this clip). Then let it represent the second 16th note, and finally, the 4th 16th note.
He had a metronome that went down very slow (about 20/min, as I recall) so he would use the slow settings to represent not only beats 1 and 3 (or 2 and 4), and not only beat 1 (one click per measure), but also one click every 2 measures. ... Or every 5 beats or 7 beats of a 4/4 measure, just to try to challenge his mind to count independently for itself and still be in time with the machine.

Oh yes. Similar to just displacing the beat when you practice. Daphnis cleans up nicely when you practice by moving those entrances back onto beat 2, thus moving everything back a sixteenth... Makes your head spin

In the clip in the link, you can actually hear it both as 2-4 and (probably unintentionally) 1-3.

clarnibass, yes I noticed that too. In fact, the first time I watched the video I thought it _was_ on 1-3! when I listened again and heard it as 2-4 it almost became a new song.
