It's no more dangerous than a DRM'd copy from Amazon which could have a user id embedded into the file before the DRM is applied.
I'm pretty sure the tools that strip the DRM mention that there may still be personally identifiable information left over. When both are equally open to problems if your PC is hacked or stolen, I'd favour watermarks over the alternative.
I do share your concern that there's going to be an issue over the use of any kind of marking of content that finds its way onto any file sharing site though. When possible, I still prefer buying books that are fully DRM free, with just the odd exception. But one step at a time
