It seems unlikely. In the original example there was enough of a sha1 file to provide a 40 character hash and curl downloaded an update file that was one byte long. I tried running the same command, but with the version changed by 1 in the URL, and curl didn't create a file at all. Also IIRC rsync does an atomic rename when a file is added, so the web server should see a complete file or no file.
