Yes, not unique to any AP.  You should have been along for the ride when I dramatically mis-trimmed the Skymaster I once flew whilst under mystical AP guidance. When the AP went off so did the plane..............................Whew!
 
Even though I have an STEC 50 with a manual pitch trim wheel, I still have made it a rule to turn off the AP every 1/2 hour and hand fly for 5 or ten minutes to make sure the loose nut behind the yoke gets retightened.
