Yes, their shafts are thin so they suffer from movement if they are chattering too much.

I believe it was Martin hadland on here for example that had some problems with his original GT35R engine and ended up needing a larger or twin dumpvalves in the end to cure it (think it was him anyway)
Its only when running big boost though, chatter away all day at half a bar and you're unlikely to have a problem.
