No, in that thread:
  1. someone claimed to have been told (by a first-line phone rep) that flashing would invalid a warranty
  2. many people, including Nokia employees, explained that flashing a Maemo device will not invalidate a warranty

If you don't want to read through the whole thread:
  • tekojo, a Nokia employee, stated there that reflashing will not affect a device's warranty.
  • qgil, another Nokia employee, points to instructions on how to reflash a Maemo device in his announcement of PR1.1.
  • The "Nokia N900 software update (part 2)" blog post on conversations.nokia.com suggests:
