At least until very recently (say, at least until a few months ago), they would not simply "put residence card in the passport". They were stating that if you want to put it in the passport instead of separate paper, or transfer it from expired to new passport, then you would have to re-submit the whole application again from scratch.
It is probable something changed over last 2-3 moths, though i doubt it. We got EEA2 on a separate A4 piece of paper in January 2014, and I do not remember any mentioning of "send us passport and residence card and we will put residence in your passport" (I could check the documents, but I am pretty sure about it). Was it written on a A4 with EEA2 itself, or on a accompanying letter?
