It _could_ be an issue (because in today's litigious society _anything_ can be an issue) but most likely won't be an issue. The fact of the matter is that you own the finale files which you create, even though they may represent another's copyrighted works. You can't print or sell or give away or do anything with those files which the client hasn't authorized you to do, but you have created those files and you own them.
With that said, I can see situations where the client wants to retain ownership of all the files, but that would need to be agreed upon before the contract is signed and stipulated in writing as part of the contract.
