If accompanied by the digital equivalent of over-development, then I guess it is. However it seems that in many cases people were underexposing not because they wanted a 'higher iso' but because they were afraid of blowing highlights - which resulted in obnoxious noise when they subsequently pulled up the shadows and midtones. I think that with auto-iso the camera is better able to manage 'correct exposure' than it was before, as noted by some people in this thread - they are now using higher iso's much earlier than they would have done if manually setting the iso.
