No, not after loading firmware, but changes in band mapping can occur
when you stray out of the ham bands. For example: 

If you have 80/40/30/20 mapped "IN", then go jumping between the
49/31/25 meter SWBC bands(either by direct frequency entry or memory
recall), you will subsequently find that BAND UP/DOWN only selects
among 80/25/20 meters. What has happened is this: 30m has been
transformed into 25m;  40m has been transformed into 49m and mapped
"OUT".

So, going out of the ham bands is a sure way to jumble up the band
scheme. It is easier to recover if you have some anchor freqs for each
ham band programmed into the M1-M4 buttons.
