I'd say yes. As an example companies producing food or drugs will be in
trouble if they are selling stuff with an exceeded expire date but I
could imagine there are companies who sell stuff even if the expire date
has been reached.
So I think the default should be that inventory with an expire date in
the past shouldn't get reserved but maybe add an option (global, store
or product) to allow this.

Or maybe display a warning "Inventory has expired"
