Doubt it - if anything it's easier to crouch down with palms facing down.
I'm pretty sure if that were true we would be seeing some flat bars in the pro peloton.
I guess that if your aero bars are the same height and width as the flats on my road bike there would be no difference in that one position. However, when in that position I am much less aero than in the hoods or the drops.
