No it uses EPSG:4326 when Mercator is selected. The distortion resulting 
from that is very low due to the tile mechanism and working at high zoom 
levels.

This "silently assume Mercator is EPSG:4326" should also exist in the 
future (except the WMS server has Mercator support, which is ignored ATM 
- very few have).
