There's an Arvo Part piece, Credo, which starts quoting Bach in C major, then as that introduces an accidental, Part introduces more and more, till the 'harmony' consists of a nasty 12-note cluster.
I heard him talking about the piece, and he said that first modulation was like original sin, introducing evil into the world. Maybe we should regard the odd 'ornamental' choyte in the same way - the beginning of a slippery slope. But let him who is without sin....
