If the  original addition is carefully worded to closely
paraphrase a point in the  secondary source, a copyeditor concerned about
style might well - and  frequently does - come in and change that such that
it is no longer  sufficiently faithful to the nuances in the source, since
the copyeditor  does not have access to the source.>>

What I do in that case, is go back, and change the wording, and ref with a  
full quote in the footnote.
 
Quoting is always a good trump card for bad paraphrasing.
