I can't reference research to support this - and I'm not a guru - but I am a strong proponent of the principal that content should live in only one location, as represented in the breadcrumbs and other primary navigational mechanisms. Convenient links can and should be located wherever this content may be applicable.
But by locating the content formally in multiple locations, the site structure becomes more obscured or convoluted, making it harder for the user to make sense of the whole site.
