Not upon re-entry of a year >= Jan. 1, 2000. I tried it two seconds ago. DMY format. Entered 120295. The focus went automatically to the next field. The date field showed 12/02/95. Back tab to the field. Still 2 digits. Entered 120202. The focus went automatically to the next field. The date field showed 12/02/2002. Back tab to the field. Still 4 digits. Entered 120295. Focus stays there (different behaviour). If I tab out, the date shows 12/02/9520. So much for "head down" data entry.
