Yes, I just tried yours:

[server]$ pico test.cgi
[server]$ chmod 755 test.cgi
[server]$ grep -i test.cgi ~/logs/domain.com/http/access.log
xx.xx.xx.xx- - [17/Jan/2007:15:11:50 -0800] "GET /test.cgi HTTP/1.1" 2
+00 372 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.
+1) Gecko/20061204 Firefox/2.0.0.1"

It still gives me a non-404 error in the log (while the browser does display a 404 error page).
