I don't think that 'any' sufficiently intelligent agent 'clearly' would. It requires at least a solution to the cartesianism problem which is currently unsolved and not every self-optimizing process neccessarily solves this.
Any AI that doesn't will have its values drift until they drift to something that guards against value drift.
If that is both abstractly possible and compatible with adaptation. If survival requires constant adaptation, which seems likely, value stability - at least the stability of a precise and concrete set of values - may not be compatible with survival.
