I think so:

"The fetching of the target instruction is considered to be an 
instruction fetch for purposes of program-event recording and for 
purposes of reporting access exceptions."

BTW, I got a detail wrong in the description of EXECUTE (not in the 
code): The register used for the OR operation is encoded in the EXECUTE 
instruction, with 0 meaning "don't OR". So it can actually be any 
general-purpose register _except_ R0. See

page 7-126.
