I run an HDMI cable from my DVR to the projector and a tosh cable from the DVR to the receiver. I have no sync isues, but if Sir T says it could happen, I'd bet moneythat it could happen. And I don't bet on much.
Yes it can happen, and a few months ago Bluray.com had a huge thread on it. It doesn't occur with all equipment, but it occurs with enough equipment to be a problem. The reality is, it never happens with an HDMI connection, and if it does, it is usually a software problem, not a problem with HDMI itself.

On the Bluray.com thread, the common thread for syncing issues was the use of two different connections for audio and video. Nobody using HDMI only had this issue. Now folks can listen to Pix(who has the track record of BP oil), but you could find yourself with your fanny in a crack in doing so. It is always better to use the HDMI connection, if only for the word clock that aligns both audio and video in sync frame by frame.
