I have heard nothing along those lines, and I follow news on visas fairly closely. What has been getting stricter is their reaction to people who stay 90 days on a tourist permit, go to Korea for a day, then try to come in again, especially if they do it more than once.
It hasn't been necessary to go to Korea to change to a working visa for many years now, so they have actually become more lenient on that point, not stricter- they allow you to change status in Japan.
