No, this is not a problem.
:0 and :0.0 is equivalent for DISPLAY.
This is also described in the X man page ('man 7 X'),
in the section 'DISPLAY NAMES'.
In short:
The format for DISPLAY is 'hostname:displaynumber.screennumber'. With
hostname being optional (empty string uses a local X server) and
screennumber is also optional (default: 0). So you only have to specify
the displaynumber, but an additional screennumber does not harm.
