Only if one or more channels clips but if you take your exposure reading from the white target your channels aren't going to clip and for that matter the target will no longer be white as far as the camera is concerned, it will be grey.its hard to read color in white.
The reason some authorities say use a gray card rather than white paper or fabric is that many white papers and fabrics have fluorescent dyes added to give them that whiter than white appearance. These dyes in theory could upset the white balance reading in the camera, in practice I have not had any problems using white targets. Photographic grey cards on the other hand are supposed to be colour neutral, that's what you pay the money for.
