There is probably an increased possibility of popping your rear driveshaft, or an axle shaft (if locked up). But I use 2wd low all the time with no ill effects. I wouldn't worry about it too much.
Mine can do that, but I never use it. I've heard it's good on the trail to get out of some jams, but I think you'd have to go light on the gas--all that torque to one driveshaft might do some damage if you stomp it.

I have a t-case saver on mine. An easy $30 better-safe-than-sorry.
I run the Amway-style t-case saver and one mongo skidplate. IMO, the stocker is too weenie for real protection.
I've used 2wd low for LOTS of years, probably 7-8, and have yet to have issue. I normally run in 2wd-low and hit 4 when an obstacle approches. Even in granny I've experienced zero problems.

OK good. lol. yeah it does have a lot of torque on the rear axle when its in 2wd low. i figured that out when I gave it a lot of gas on pavement one day :whoops:. but its still holding together. did it come like that from the factory??
I love my 2L, I use it all the time... when I have a broken birf... 
Torched mine in about 60 seconds, no mods necessary on the vacuum linkage like you said and I used to do that in my older 40 all the time. Makes it a breeze to turn a rig around that's welded in the rear and has a detroit in the front. Saves birfs if backing up as well.
