Some software may do that (I don't know), but I've never run into that. 
I'd say as long as you have your software configured correctly (this 
matters in EAC as well), you're more likely to get an exact copy than not.

Keep in mind *all* drives will have issues with a few samples at the start 
and/or end of the CD. EAC can try to compensate for this (offset 
correction), but even it isn't perfect, and it seems few people know about 
or bother with it anyway.
