Yes, I've noticed some short-term aging problems with crystals run at 50 C. In one case the crystal was held at 35 C for a couple of years, then sat on the shelf for a few more. When put back into service at 50 C, it drifted up about 2 PPM over a period of a couple of days. So it seems that even moderately heated crystals need to be aged at their operating temperature.
