I heard that the omission of EN 61000-3-2 in earlier editions of the general medical EMC standard (EN 60601-1-2) led people to think EN 61000-3-2 did not apply to medical equipment, even equipment for home or office use. The line harmonics standard was added in later editions of the medical standard to remove any doubt that it applied.

That may have been the case with EN 61326.

Possibly, but doubt can be removed by a Note or Informative text. Normative text is inappropriate when the referenced standard applies in any case, whether referenced or not.
