No.  Why would he do that?  The Rishonim discuss whether the rebbe 
himself didn't know the correct pronunciation, or whether he knew it and 
therefore taught it corrrectly, but didn't pay enough attention to how 
each boy was pronouncing it, so never noticed that young Yoav had 
misheard him and was reading "z'char".

Yoav was a gadol hador?!  I don't see him listed in the Rambam's hakdamah.
