I don't think so.

I would assume that the actual data lines on a console cable have some 
sort of isolation to thwart things like current loops.  Or at the very 
least fuses to protect the rest of the system.

I know that I'm used to electro-optical isolation like that on Cisco 
equipment.  Specifically for this very problem.
