I do not think this is a problem, except to bear in mind that electrolytics gradually adopt the working voltage that they are exposed to so don't go and swap it out into something else without reforming it.
I think it's even less of a problem. Generally when being used between a certain minimum and maximum percentage of their rated WV they will stay formed. I use 20% and 80% as a rule of thumb, but that's probably on the safe side.
