I have never had trek pole problems - but always carry duck tape. So, in answer to the OP - "not very likely."

I was interested to see the comments on use of the poles during the day and leaving the tent down. I have done this - and got caught in a windy downpour - more than once. The tent got battered and some gear was exposed. For the sake of (about) an extra 150gms I now have my 3 tents with their own pole system.
