*into* a corner is the dangerous part. If you are trying to get as close to the corner as possible before braking (a la racing/rally driver) then compression lock up can be a real pain in the rear-end, look at V8 drivers or rally driver foot work, they certainly don't flat change down through the gears. They are practically on the limit of the brakes, and if the engine brakes on top of that in an unsmooth fashion the brakes/tyres will lock up. Or if you are going from (example) a 3rd gear corner that tightens into a 2nd gear corner.

Of course, it really depends how hard you want to drive. Most people (me included) very VERY rarely drive hard enough to warrant a thought or care about engine braking - but it's just something to keep in mind if you are ever on the limit.
