You'll get more flavor and color using fruit in the secondary.
However, if you put fruit in the secondary, you'll want to consider doing a tertiary to let yeast and fruit debris settle out after the fruit is fermented.

Sorry.
You're right, it won't hurt anything unless you let it sit for a really long time. Then you might start getting some astringency from seeds and skin.
