It shouldn't. Of course, one could claim that being connected to the electrical lines during a thunderstorm is a bad idea. But, unlike cheap battery chargers, notebook batteries know when they're fully charged and won't allow themselves to be overcharged.
If you leave the battery charger/power unit on and always plugged into the notebook PC, even when the notebook is off, will that harm the battery, or notebook for that matter?
