Simple answer, if it did, the aircraft wouldn't get certified. It is possible, I've once seen a prototype that bad, but the characteristic is considered unacceptable if it doesn't return through straight and damp out within 7 cycles maximum.

Do you want the complicated answer, or is that sufficient?
