Don't think so.
Unfortunately, at the moment I can't find the reference that mentioned the flying mammals, so I don't know exactly what flying mammals we're talking about here nor how their GLO gene is broken (if we've even looked at it yet). However, from Challem and Taylor (1998):

This would seem to exclude bats.
