That's a good question - with the current trunk implementation it can,
but I have a patch that fixes this and many other bugs I found when
trying to use -freorder-blocks-and-partition. I had sent the patch out
for review awhile ago but it still needs review. See:

http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2012-11/msg01303.html
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2012-11/msg02141.html (most recent
version of patch).
