No, it does not.

With a newly created project with one commit:

$ git ls-remote git.git
b71992713c17c3a29f9566e1b50e8cf402375faf        HEAD
b71992713c17c3a29f9566e1b50e8cf402375faf        refs/heads/master

$ git bundle create git.bdl HEAD master

$ git bundle list-heads git.bdl
b71992713c17c3a29f9566e1b50e8cf402375faf refs/heads/master
b71992713c17c3a29f9566e1b50e8cf402375faf refs/heads/master
