My largely uninformed opinion is that it's not "harmful" but it's not
gonna' 
work with a real flat battery because of all the electrickery the engine 
needs to run (pumps, ECUs etc).
I've bump-started a few EFI cars (and EFI motorbikes) without any problems

but they all had "some" charge left in the battery at the time.
