Every time I do a hard reset, I have to call and re-authenticate my phone. I have done 2 or 3 hard resets with just the stock ROM, no change to the radio, etc., just a standard hard reset.
I just flashed my phone yesterday--thanks to Negamann for the help--and I even changed my ESN to a different phone, but when I changed my ESN back to my Touch, I STILL had to call to re-authenticate.
Regardless, I've never had them question me when I call in.
(The odd thing is that I previously had a Motorola Q, and I never had to call them after doing a hard-reset... this is the first phone I've ever had with VZW that has forced me to do so...)
Anyway (and sorry to ramble), the bottom line is that I don't think anyone should worry about calling VZW to authenticate their phones because whether you do a standard master reset, or upgrade your radio and flash with a cooked ROM, you may still have to call them!
