won't have tested it and won't want to know about any problems that do

2. Installing it on a clean Panther system may break things,
especially if the system already has the Panther developer tools.
3. Even if it does work, who knows which systems will be able to run
the resulting executables. They'll work on Panther, because that was
where they were built, but they might not work on any previous
incarnation of Mac OS X.
This is a bit overstated, almost hyperbole. PB is just the UI/building
part of the development environment. The concerns you're expressing are
fundamentally library/compiler/linker issues. If those tools can build
deployable apps with Xcode or from the command line, then why would
they be unable to build deployable apps under PB?
So it's probably best not to use PB on Panther.
This statement I do agree with, however.
