Quite possibly, since the reader has to interpret the links, and perform 
the action of moving to the appropriate page when you click on them.

Having said that, I just looked at a PDF I exported from LibreOffice 4.4 
(rather an old version) a couple of weeks ago, and the TOC links do not 
work in Adobe Reader X. Exporting the file to PDF again, the links DO 
work. It seems that if I open the file in read-only mode (I'd set the 
read-only file property on the file) and export as PDF, the links DO 
work, but if I click the banner to "Edit Document" and export to PDF 
from edit mode, the links DON'T work. Possibly related to:

All the PDF export settings were the same in both cases:
- General
  - Range: All
  - Images: JPEG, 90%
  - Archive PDF/A-1a
  - Export bookmarks
- Initial View
  - Panes: Page only
  - Magnification: Default
  - Page Layout: Default
- User Interface
  - Display document title
  - Bookmarks: All bookmark levels
- Links
  - (Nothing selected; ticking all options made no difference)
Other options I haven't mentioned were not ticked

Mark.
