Yes, in situations like the following one:
\relative c'{
 \partial 4 c4 | c d e f | g2. \bar "||" \break
 e4 | g f e d | c2. \bar "|."
}

but not in situations like

\relative c' {
 c4 d e f  | g1 \bar "||" \break
 \set Score.measurePosition = #(ly:make-moment 3 4)
 e | g f e d | c2. \bar "|."
}

where the upbeat does not match the preceding measure. I suspect that 
Tim's question was about the latter case.
(Of course you can question the mathematical abilities of the composer 
in this case, but I've seen several printed scores that use this kind of 
construct.)
