This did not appear to be the case on our robot. The only reference to the camera was in the (C++) constructor so that camera images would be forwarded to our robot. Watching the output on NetConsole, errors were flooding and appeared to have no timeout. Another symptom we encountered with this was the clock on the Driver Station freezing with the robot but no watchdog error was being shown in the bottom left corner. This was also running with a Serial-based CAN.
