Well, yes - but Carsten knew[fn:1] there'd be someone (we won't mention
names :-) ) who would do that and took care to do the
add-hook/remove-hook thingie while setting up the mode when you open an
org file: see line 5016ff in org.el. So it sounds a bit more ominous
than it actually is.
OTOH, if your .emacs opens an org file between lines 18 and 1568, all
bets are off.

[fn:1] ... or maybe somebody did it and complained about it already: I
didn't search the ML.
