Its something they test at the factory. Hence why they didn't just put M bars on an S stem and call it the H type (although in the end that is sort of what they did). But they put that setup through a bunch of stress tests to see if it could handle the different loading.
Its probably fine but if you'll not miss it I'd chop them.
I've raised my bars a tad but with a stem raiser, rather than riser bars. Bit like this: http://www.thorusa.com/images/dahon/technical/aberhallo2.jpg (the black bit).
