I think they do, in the current Version, anyway. I had an organic empire with tons of organic armor which built lots of storms on warp points for defense. These ships frequently lost some organic armor to the storms as they entered.

Of course, this doesn't make sense in two ways:

1) Ships waiting inside a damaging storm probably should also be at risk, but aren't. I guess this could be explained by the ability to find some sort of "eye of the storm" though.

2) Organic armor is completely healed after every combat, and generally heals at a huge rate, but it doesn't get healed unless combat occurs. Go blockade an enemy planet for a turn with "don't get hurt" orders, and suddenly the organic armor heals up. Doesn't make much sense, although perhaps it has a gameplay argument or two in its favor.
