Nope. It treats both ends equally. It shouldn't even allow a fraction-of-a-second of slip without stepping in. When I put my floppy winter tires on the car, I can cause the stability control to freak out just by gently swerving back and forth. The front end isn't actually losing grip, but the winter tires are so floppy, and deform so much more than summer tires, that the extra split second it takes for the car to actually start turning makes the stability control THINK the front end has lost traction, and it brakes the rear wheels to compensate. I even have video of it.
