No danger, just wasting perfectly good olive oil in boiling water. Oil in pasta water really doesn't do much. If you keep your water at a boil and stir your pasta with some regularity you shouldn't get sticking. Generally it is the people who turn down the heat or don't stir that will get sticky pasta. Also good quality pasta can help out and it will taste better when properly prepared.
