No, if you're experiencing that issue the message you would see is:

Dec 4 20:44:47 xxxxxxx rpd[3475]: bgp_read_v4_update: NOTIFICATION sent to 
x.x.x.x (External AS xxxx): code 3 (Update Message Error) subcode 1 
(invalid attribute list)

Note that some versions of IOS will send code 3 subcode 1 in response to 
tripping max-prefix, which can be confusing if you're looking at your 
logs for evidence of the Juniper BGP issue. :)
