Yes, it will.

The portal catalog doesn't have to see here, as member data isn't catalogued
by default.

You should provide methods to clear the properties you create that are being
kept inside member records, because AFAIK portal_memberdata doesn't provide
that type of handling. Even when you erase the fields that your product must
have added, the data will still be there at least until the record is
manually pruned.
