My first thought was that one could be social-engineered to work on the "bad" side and open oneself to double spends, but it seems to be far easier to trick someone into exporting a private key. I'm still not sure of the non-development uses of it, since forcing oneself onto the "wrong" side of a fork doesn't really help you in any way.
