Yes, like the cello, oboes, oboe d'amores, English horns, and clarinets sometimes have detectable "wolf" tones. They can be caused by an amplification of a note because of a little tuned resonance lower down on the instrument. Second register Ab, G and Eb on my Loree English horn are some of the notes that stand out or go a bit out of tune for me, and one can use some alternate fingerings to sound better.
On the clarinet, second register G is a standout note, possibly for the same reason. One can live with these anomalies in many situations.
