Mechanically speaking, I don't see how it could cause damage. Then again, I'm not much of a mechanical person... I've never had any clutch or transmission problems with two MT cars, though.

Edit: The C6 actually has a feature that forces you to go from 1st to 4th (it physically locks you out of 2nd and 3rd with the stick) when you're accelerating too slow. It's a really frustrating thing on the 6MT Tremec 6060 (IIRC) that GM implemented (on Camaros, Corvettes, probably CTS-V but not sure) to do something with fuel economy numbers for EPA. Based on that, I have to imagine there's no issue doing this... if you're rev matching at all, it's shouldn't cause any more problem for the clutch. Maybe just different levels of wear and tear on the transmission, but even that seems like a stretch.
