Memory fragmentation is a potential issue in all languages that not use a Compacting GC, so yes.
There are some attenuating circumstances in Rust, notably the fact that unless you use a ~ pointer the memory is allocated in a task private heap which is entirely recycled at the death of the task, but memory fragmentation is always a potential issue.
