I've never seen it happen before, but that's hearsay.
Searching for `.emacs.d' on EmacsWiki, I see that it tells users explicitly not
to do this (for exactly the reason that your user found) in the sections
describing startup files, the first two results:
emacswiki.org/emacs/DotEmacsDotD
emacswiki.org/emacs/LoadPath
Seems like good news. I also found a couple examples of people doing it
(TimAnderson, ExtraLicense) in the first page of search results, which is less
good news.
Hope that helps,
*Chad
