Sadly no. 
Normaly it does work, yes, but it became a problem when firewalls came into the game. They have only the service-IP for DHCP allowed and does not know anything about other interfaces on my DHCP-server. And there DHCP is failing if the packets are send with the wrong source IP in the IP-Header. :-(

Another example that came along was DHCP forwarding in a VPN-device, but this is a very specific problem.
