If I understand your question correctly, then the answer is: No.
The LEON has a counter reload register (=999 for a 1 milliseconds tick).
The hardware timer counter runs down from 999 to 0. On overrun it
reloads =999 and generates the timer interrupt.
So the timer counter will never be outside the 999...0 range.
