As you push the air out as you fill the bottle, some mixing of air into the liquid will happen. Is it a serious problem? Not if the beer will be consumed reasonably soon, however if you are planning to store the beer for more than a month or so, I'd start getting concerned about having oxygen mixing with the beer during the filling process.

What if you give the bottle a little shake after filling, and when it foams up a bit, cap on the foam. Doesn't that pretty effectively purge the O2 out?

[WichitaBrewer]

I would think that the release of the CO2 would help scrub the O2 from the beer. Then again, if your not careful with your shaking you could end up with a mess as well! Probably dealing to an extent with symantics. Time you've reached this stage in the process, you've either got a good beer or you don't. I don't believe that the manner by which you bottle will dramatically impact your beer, particularly in the short term.
