So this is what happens when you take an hour to type a reply - someone else posts a better reply first!

As GodAtum's diagram shows, there is indeed a smooth (though non-constant) pressure differential on descent, complete with a pause in re-pressurisation when the aircraft is level, so this part mostly agrees with my expectations. What's very different is that some differential is kept until landing, and then the pressure is decreased after landing. Presumably this is to ensure that the doors are forced closed by the pressure.

Anyway, to answer the original question, no this will not be cause of your headaches.
