Yes of course. I went over my entire wheel with a Park Spoke Tension gauge and adjusted the spoke tension to the Mavic's recommendation so that spoke tension was #/-5% spoke to spoke on a given side. Wheel was trued to within 1mm. Then I broke three more spokes. In 30 years of riding, never seen anything like it. I think it's the rims since this is the second rim I've had trouble with (but different problem - spoke holes cracking. Mavic replaced under warranty) and Mavic may be having QC problems with this particular rim.
