No, if you do it smart way, such as (in .xsessionrc):
xauth extract - $DISPLAY | sudo -u user1 -- sh -c \
"cat -> /home/user1/.Xauthority"
xauth extract - $DISPLAY | sudo -u user2 -- sh -c \
"cat -> /home/user1/.Xauthority"
And configure sudo to keep $DISPLAY.

Sudo can be configured for passwordless access, but that's not the
point.
Say, one runs two instances of firefox with different profiles under the
same OS user. One also runs, say, MUA such as Evolution and clicks a
link in this MUA. Now, the question is - which instance of firefox will
open the link? From my experience the result is unpredictable.
