Of course! All food has a certain water content. Nothing wrong with your sauce, yes it will split and settle next day. Reheat it, and stir.
Can add a bit of cream too, yum.

My partner and I love mushrooms, and I usually cook them in butter and a little fresh ground pepper in a small pan, nothing added.

Add some cream and thicken slightly......lovely mushroom sauce.

Everything has water in it. And adding butter adds to the liquid too.
Cornflour is fine, it can split, so give it a stir the next day...reheat and voila.
