It won't "hurt" anything electrically. It may effect the tonal quality by upsestting the resistance ratios in that circuit area. Probably most affected would be bass response at low to med volume levels.

You will also get room-splitting volume without much rotation of the control. In other words, the normal volume range will be crammed into the bottom end of the control rotation. 2Meg pots are easily obtained from many vendors like AES, Radio Daze, etc......
See the links on Ron's page here and also on my site.
