It shouldn't, and we have done extensive testing to ensure that the 
results from justRMA() are identical to rma(). As an example:

 > nrow(exprs(rma(ReadAffy(cdfname = "mogene10stmmrefseqcdf"))))
Background correcting
Normalizing
Calculating Expression
[1] 28312
 > nrow(exprs(justRMA(cdfname = "mogene10stmmrefseqcdf")))
[1] 28312

So I get the same number of rows using both methods. Now check that I 
get the same exact values:

 > all.equal(exprs(rma(ReadAffy(cdfname = 
"mogene10stmmrefseqcdf"))),exprs(justRMA(cdfname = 
"mogene10stmmrefseqcdf")))
Background correcting
Normalizing
Calculating Expression
[1] TRUE

So it looks OK to me.

Best,

Jim
