No, at least so far everything seems good:

# ls -l /dev/null /null
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1, 3 2008-09-17 21:41 /dev/null
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1, 3 2008-09-17 10:59 /null
# ls -l /dev/console /console
crw------- 1 root root 5, 1 2008-09-17 08:00 /console
crw------- 1 root root 5, 1 2008-09-17 18:42 /dev/console
