It should not (unless you have "CatalogAware" instances rather
than "CatalogPathAware").
Modern ZCatalog versions use "getPhysicalPath" to obtain the uid
of an object. Unless the acquisition structure is broken (by
a buggy product), "getPhysicalPath" is independent from the
access path to an object.

You can use Shane's "showaq" to analyse the acquisition structure.
