It would appear that it does.  However, I did still have to remove all the other DECC logicals I had defined (all related to mixed-case and extended filenames) as the build procedure otherwise seriously choked on the presence of ODS-5 pathnames (I am building on an ODS-5 disk).  None of the DECC logicals I had in place were flagged as dangerous by configure.com.  Here are the 3 I normally keep defined:

  "DECC$ARGV_PARSE_STYLE" = "ENABLE"
  "DECC$EFS_CASE_PRESERVE" = "ENABLE"
  "DECC$EFS_CHARSET" = "ENABLE"
