Not likely, the battery itself is load limited, overcharge protected, undercharge protected and thermal limited, as are all Lithium batteries meant for (high-end) consumers.
If it weren't, it would go boom if the phone got stuck in an infinite loop: high drain, software dead, overheat > boom. The battery cuts power by itself if it's worth any of that 1000% markup Nokia puts on it.
The scenario you proposed would be indeed valid if Nokia used an enthusiast/modeling battery - those are only limited in amps - sometimes not even that. IIRC, they don't even make them in the same form factor.
