no it doesnt...as long as your foot is not on the gas and you end up shooting forward and crashing...its just changing to a lower gear in your transmission. and as far as it being bad on the tranny? i'll let someone else answer that, but I'd think not because its not like you're redlining by compression braking and you go to the same RPM when you're gunning the car anyway, but I could be wrong.

Well yea...................
Yes, because your engine is reving at a higher rpm.
If you know how to drive it won't damage your
trans or clutch but will make your brakes last a
little longer. I put 125K on my 300ZX TT and always
down shifted but never more than one gear at a time.
I also didn't replace my brakes until I reached 118K!

I downshift often, but I try to rev match and use brakes too. If you know what you doing, how to do it and when to do it it will not have a noticable negative effect. When you don't downshift and just put it in neutral, and you don't stop, putting it back in gear as the car is still moving and not rev matching will put the same amount of strain on the trainy, so do whatever helps you sleep at night.
