the answer is yes
unless you do fsync or add a barrier (not currently possible from userspace)
this is the big issue with write barriers in ext3. without such barriers the writes to the journal can end up out of order. since the journal is laied out as a sequential block on disk, it's relativly unlikely to happen, but it is possible.
