Yes, but it's an extreme safek, more like a sfek-sfek-sfeka de'oraita, and
it would not be common to worry about it if not for the AriZal's teaching
that one should be extremely machmir on Pesach.   If you read the Alter
Rebbe's teshuvah you see that the cheshash only arises by combining several
opinions in ways that the authors of those opinions themselves didn't.
