BCM stores links to emails in the PST file, but it doesn't manipulate the data in the PST. I've never run into a case where BCM modified a PST, let alone corrupted one.
Although some people complain about BCM not "using" the Outlook Contacts, I think its a neat feature that you can install and uninstall BCM without affecting Outlook database.
