No, it does not; the exception raised isn't even raised for a 404 error.
I had to override jenkins_open() with the following code to get the
behavior I needed:

    def jenkins_open(self, req):
        try:
            if self.auth:
                req.add_header('Authorization', self.auth)
            return urllib2.urlopen(req).read()
        except urllib2.HTTPError, e:
            # Jenkins's funky authentication means its nigh impossible to
            # distinguish errors.
            if e.code in [401, 403, 500]:
                raise jenkins.JenkinsException(
                    'Error in request.' +
                    'Possibly authentication failed [%s]' % (e.code)
                )
            elif e.code == 404:
                raise NotFoundException('Requested item could not be found')

            # Log the error
            self.ctxt.log.warn("HTTPError raised with code %d: %s" %
                               (e.code, e.msg))

Title:
  Jenkins returning 404 cannot be distinguished

Status in Python API for Jenkins:
  New

Bug description:
  If a non-GET request is made for a resource which doesn't exist—such
  as cancelling a non-existant queue item—no exception or error is
  reported to the user.  At the very least, a distinguishable error
  should be raised.  (Distinguishable in that it should not be
  JenkinsException, although it should be a subclass of
  JenkinsException).
