  You would have to test I guess but the potential is there for an issue. It 
can be circumvented by configuring a 1PPS offset if the receiver allows it , or 
configuring a reasonable cable delay in the receiver so that the pulses are not 
simultaneous . The latter possibility exists for the Venus 8 receiver , but I 
cannot find a command to force a 1PPS offset.
