Of course it is :)

I set up another forest from scratch using W2008R2 and using the W2008R2 
forest and domain functional levels.

With this setup, I was able to join the clients without issue (other 
than the usual glibc bug exposed by underscores in DNS names).

So, yes there is a definitely a difference in there exposed by setting 
up the domain using W2012.
