Yep.  There are ways around the problem though.  One I've seen in plans in
a magazine was leveling feet hidden behind the toe kick, which was cut and
added once the case was in place and raised to the ceiling.  A less tricky
method is to make the bookcase a little shorter, tip it into position, then
add trim, such as crown molding, to the top to cover the gap between the
top and the ceiling.
