Shouldn't. Bearing isn't what clamps strings to bridges, it's 
pin angle and offset. With adequate angles, the clamp is good 
enough to, as Frank said, pull the soundboard loose with 
enough negative bearing. Given near vertical pins, inadequate 
offset, and little to no bearing, yes, but then likely only on 
the front.
