Since the biscuits require moisture to expand, theoretically speaking
no. Unless you add water, which you might need to get the poly to cure
anyway.
What's the matter with plain ole white glue?

it'll hold them fine, but in order to get them to swell and lock
you'll need to wet the biscuits before assembly.

PVA will be ok, but a general yellow glue like Titebond II will generally
provide a better grip :)

If you are asking if Tightbond dripping is a problem, yes it can be as it
will pour out without having to squeeze the bottle and can easily flood the
cut with too much glue.

My technique:
Dry assemble first, but don't push the biscuits in more than 1/4".
Maybe you're smarter, but I'm a dumbass and I can't spend a day
biscuiting without miscutting at least one in the wrong place so it
won't assemble. It's a pain to discover this, but it's easier to find
out with dry biscuits than wet.
Really cheap PVA - not even the posh woodworking stuff, just the basic
PVA I buy in gallon cans.
Two glue bottles. One has a biscuit slot nozzle, the other has a
roller. The slot bottle contains slightly diluted PVA, the roller
bottle contains it at normal working strength.
Glue the slots first, roller the mating surfaces, insert biscuits and
assemble.
Use the _white_ rubber mallet to knock things together on assembly.
It's kept just for this purpose, and it's clean.
Never glue the biscuits. They swell before you get them in the slots.

The best glue I have found is Yellow Elmers glue. Titebond drips too fast.
Note we use about 10,000 biscuits a year, have tried other glues and always
go back to yellow Elmers.

Titebond is too loose in it's formulation to be good in biscuit joints.
Elmers has the correct consistency for glue application and joint fitting
without the glue running down your pants.

'course, if you do not IMMEDIATELY get that wet biscuit into both it's
slots, it'll never fit...

Did you really mean drips there? If so, I'm not clear on what you mean. I
don't intend this to be a spelling flame--I can see where the flow
characteristics could be an issue.

PVA will do nicely. Watch it though, those bad boys will swell up with glue
pretty fast. You need to be ready to put it together before you glue.

Personally I don't use biscuits....not yet anyway. All I've ever seen Normie
use is yellow glue.
Cheers.
