On an old school Sturmey hub where the cable stop is attached to the frame, perhaps. Modern IGHs are equipped with quick release shift cables and the cable stop is typically a small sheet metal bracket attached to the hub. Chain tension (wheel placement) can be some where between 'chain falls off' and 'stresses other components'.
