Yes, Schulze's link gives a clear counterexample. The basic insight is that Condorcet methods tend to violate the FBC only when there is a sincere cycle, and burial/truncation criteria when there is a sincere CW. I am not aware of a proof to this effect, though I suspect that one would be possible with the right choice of methods. Still, it seems to be a clear enough principle to serve as a rule of thumb.
Since I believe that cases where there is a sincere CW are both more common and more important to get right (because when there's a cycle, there are many arguably-right answers), I therefore would argue that violations of the FBC are less-important than violations of burial/truncation. Your mileage may vary.
