Yes, but would this result in more or less noise than an open end acting like an antenna? And would the ground loop noise be in the DSL spectrum?
No, it will be strictly a DC current, with the amperage easily calculated from the voltage difference between the two ends and the resistance of however many cable-feet of wire is involved. Not usually a big deal, unless your termination design didn't include the ability to sink a DC current 24/7. (Of course, actually measuring the voltage and resistance may be non-trivial :)
