Yes: Austria and Slovakia still do, possibly others as well. And Germany only stopped preventing it within the last year or two.

The UK will help circumvent this for current British citizens when they acquire new citizenship in one of those countries (eg. America famously makes you hand over your old passport, but the UK will happily ship you a replacement in an unmarked envelope), but that doesn't really work so well in the other direction.
