Ok I may be wrong here, but there were some discussions on Thai Visa a few years ago and I seem to remember that at least a few of the more seasoned members on there made this claim. Have not been able locate the thread(s) I had in mind, but here’s a sample from a thread called News on visa detentions:

I always use the same border for my visa run, and I am well know by the immigration oficers from both countries (not many with my nationalities pass there I guess), the only advice/warning I get recently was : next time , it could be be better to realy leave during 24 h/48 hours mean spend one evening + a night + a morning outside the kingdom. He remenber the law say : the foreigner must leave the kingdom and are able to re enter after one day.

Not claiming it to be correct though.
Anyway, still kind of academic as the law (if there is one) is not enforced. I just offered it as a possible explanation to LOS’s question.
Yes, did a few of those the last time we had “same day” flights to / from KL. Very convenient. Just have to remember to actually make the flights, since a first class ticket is not cheap… Or… erm… so I’m told.
