Yes, but in my case it went further than that:
- Person visited "bad country" in 2013 using Passport A (this fact gleaned from the PNR, which included travel to the USA)
- Passport A has since expired, and been replaced with Passport B
- Person has an ESTA on Passport C (a different nationality)
- On the ESTA Application, Person indicated he had Passport B, in addition to Passport C
- Therefore cancel ESTA on Passport C
