I snapped a crank bolt doing this (although on the second, after ride, tighten).
Thats a pretty unpleasent experiance if you treated yourself to a ceramic/titanium BB for xmas. Managed to drill two tiny holes in what was left of the bolt, screw in two small screws and use them as leverage, to remove the bolt from the BB.
Having said that. I agree with you for the first installation. I'd just advise caution on the second tighten (especially if you've used some grease).
