Shouldn't, since with a pressure bleeding system (or bleeding the old fashioned way) there isn't normally a vacuum acting on the bleeder. I suppose some brake fluid could seep out the threads, but this won't introduce air into the system.

Re: speed bleeders, I tried them once and killed almost an entire day at the track chasing air in the system. Luckily I'd brought my old bleeders - put them back in, no more issues.
