Yes.
First, there's a signalling problem. Users buy Vonage, it's terrible. Why should they believe anything the incumbent ISP says about VOIP, unless the ISP fesses up to meddling with their traffic?
Secondly, how will they identify VOIP traffic ? If such practices become pervasive, folks just won't use plaintext SIP/RTP anymore.

With regards to identifying the traffic, that may be a valid concern and I cannot claim the knowledge to argue with you about it. However, assuming the ISP were to discover some practical way to identify the traffic, it stands to reason that they could profit from reducing their bandwidth.
