I think it probably would, as you'd already have the suspension compressed and the bike settled on its springs, so a little more brake pressure is only going to change that a little.

Whereas a brake application mid bend when the forks are doing their own thing is going to compress and unsettle the forks alot more than it would do if you had the brakes already applied

IMHO.
