I have not once heard of anything like that. There were a couple guys on my swim team that would come back and practice for 2 more hours every night after practice and one that worked only his butterfly. He had no problems like that and I would assume you wouldn't either. But still, I personally haven't had problems with my back after doing butterfly sets(although I never did them for 3 hours straight). I would have your coach look at your form just to make sure you are doing it right, and if he says it looks good I wouldn't worry about it. Also, and you probably know this, but if you are training for a big meet (like state or something like it) you should not be working your body that much at all as the time gets closer. I would say cool it about 2 or 3 weeks before you want your results. I honestly doubt it. I have not once heard of anything like that.
