No, though you'd probably have to create a special test case to see it.

On exception return, a 64-bit OS can write a 64-bit value into SEPC.  But when SEPC is 
copied to PC during SRET, UXL should be examined and the assignment should extend for a 
32-bit user program.

Exception entry would seem to be limited on its face by SXLEN; STVEC will always contain 
the same number of bits as PC, so no (additional) extension would be required.  But we do 
have to be careful to interpret the target_ulong value properly for the current SXLEN.
