A programmer that leaves an easter egg in some critical part of the software really isn't worth his salt. For the very first thing, it would be way too obvious (no longer qualifying as an easter egg), and second, for the reasons you mentioned.
The way this is implemented, I can't see any harm: Instead of getting something along the line "BLEEP LOADER NOT FOUND AT 0" (and you'll still get this if len(floppyimg)>0 ) you get pong.

I think one should be amused here.
