Mandarin absolutely does: * 行: xíng or háng * 的: de or dì * 长: cháng or zhǎng (plus I'm sure many more that I can't think of just right now)

  了 as le or liǎo, too.

  Did it get more numerous with the adoption of simplified characters?

    I'm not sure, but I believe that most, if not all, mergers from simplification were homophones.

    Yes, it did if you're not a mandarin speaker. The simplification process was biased towards Mandarin and there are some words that were merged that have different pronunciations in Cantonese but not in Mandarin.
