I don't think so, at least not according to the gnome/yelp manual for
baobab if I'm reading it correctly:

Disk Usage Analyzer will not count the /proc dir, nor
    any file size that is not related to a "plain" file, so symlinks,
character blocks,
    device blocks will not be part of the directory size.

I guess a bug report would be in order, but of course if we can't
reproduce the behavior it would be doomed to eternal "unconfirmed"
status.
:shrug:

Just for kicks, How much of an effect does toggling "allocated space" in
the view menu have?
