No damage. Humbucking coil counters hum induced by the fact that the magnetic field is produce by the electric coil (field) and not a Perm magnet. It simply has a few turns in the opposite direction to the VC, but is not a part of moving system. So it will compensate for the hum part of the field.

And I stand self-corrected: the polarity is not important because the two lugs are the end off VC/HBC curcuit, and whether it is one or the otehr direction, the HBC is always in opposite to the VC. So it does not matter how it is connected to the secondary of the OT.
If, and onlu if the HBC is separate and connected in series with VC explicitly (could be unsoldered and then re-soldered) - only then it is important to watch that polarity.
The HBC should always be in opposite to the VC.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
