Probably not. If you're properly over the back of the saddle with your sit bones, your not likely to be contacting the tensioning bolt apparatus with enough pressure to be painful, no matter how aggressively forward your position is. (Seriously, think about it. You'd be rolled so far forward you'd be squashing your marbles flat to pull off that kind of position.)
I've got around 10,000 miles on B-17 saddles between 3 bikes. The trick to alleviating perineal pressure is the correct angle adjustment. Start with the rear (where your sit bones go) level, and adjust it from there. For those of us with our bars close to level with our saddles, we usually go with a slight "nose-up" tilt. It's commonly a slight "nose-down" for people with a steeper saddle-to-bar drop or more stretched out position over the bike. The issue with that becomes pressure on the hands/arms/shoulders since the B-17 is pretty slick and a forward lean could cause you to slide forward off the back of the saddle and onto the nose.

You say the saddle was on the bike when you got it. If the saddle was already broken in to someone else, that may be pitching you into the wrong position on it.
The other possibility is that you just need to change your position over the bike. What's comfortable for a 5 mile ride down the street isn't necessarily going to work for a 50 mile ride around the county. I had to make a lot of adjustments when going from 40 miles up to 100 miles, and again when I started riding doubles and longer.
