It seems like it is more of a danger to the tape than the deck... the tape may have to be destroyed to save either one if the threading mechanism dies with the tape threaded(some threading mechanism need the tape out to access the parts to fail)... also with the tape open and exposed like that it will get much more dust exposure than if stored properly in its case...I wouldn't encourage the practice.
