Yes.

It is a problem in any situation where you have to interpolate between
two samples, so most DSP operations are susceptible. 

It's just easier to explain in the context of sample rate conversion
(especially upsampling). Imagine you have an original signal that has
two consecutive samples at 0dB. If you are upsampling to double the
sample rate, you will insert a sample between the two "old" samples and
interpolate - and it is pretty clear that the interpolated value is
higher than 0 dB.

Wish I had time to draw the picture....
