No, it is not. Apple doesn't do anything UNTIL you try to do something 
under the warranty. As long as YOU don't break/brick it, Apple won't 
bother you. However, IF YOU decide to install software that you KNOW 
won't work with a JB iPhone (such as iPhone firmware /OS updates), then 
YOU have, to use your analogy, poured sugar in the tank.

Bottomline, just restore the iPhone to the default settings, install the 
upgrade, then JB the phone again, if you must have both the latest 
firmware/OS AND a JB phone so you can use T-Mobile. Otherwise, what type 
of cheese do you want?
