YES!  This is a very common problem generated by low frequency sounds like 
P-popping (which is really a blast of air from your mouth hitting mic 
diaphram when you pronounce a P-sound), and is a major reason why it's 
important to roll off the low end before it hits the compressor. It's also a 
big reason why multi-band compression is such a good idea, as Tom was 
talking about.
