No.  There's nothing wrong with bind() ing to INADDR_ANY - for the TCP
case, there is no strong reason for using an explicit address for the
bind().

As I already said, for UDP it's different, but the most prominent case
(bind, the program) handles the case of changing interface addresses
perfectly well already.
