Short term probably no harm but over longer periods of time I'm sure the effects would be greater.

In theory, I could understand this, but I don't think this would happen. In order for you to have seepage from the wine bottles, you'd have to have conditions that would permit it to occur. My understanding is that it would call for high temperature/low RH conditions. With RH being high, the cork will be swollen and not permit this to happen. While the theory explains the risk, the actual science and conditions within the controlled environment wouldn't permit the above scenario to happen IMO.
