Leaving the slide locked back *shouldn't* harm the pistol. However, letting the slide forward will definately not harm it. Recoil springs wear out, and even though I know that cycling them is supposed to be the main contributing factor to wear I would still not prefer to store my pistol with the slide locked to the rear. If it was a good way to store a firearm the owners manual would probably say so.
