Not that I've ever noticed.

I did an experiment once where I dulled a blade and then tried to strop it back to sharpness. It took roughly 1200 strokes over nearly an hour but it worked. Not sure why stropping blade that was already sharp would be bad, but I guess it's theoretically possible to oversharpen it similar to the risk one faces on a conventional hone, but I suspect it would take quite a bit of dedication and time to do it.
