repercussions if something were to happen.

Well, I've attended some discussions of this sort of thing at FAA seminars.
Inspector Ryan of the Allentown FAA made the statement at one that "It's your
logbook; you can put anything in it you want to." He continued on to state that
the FAA only cares if you try to use a false entry to obtain certification. That
was about 8 years ago, but nothing's changed AFAIK.

The regulations describe what you can and cannot log as PIC and dual
instruction. There doesn't appear to be any regulation that states that a
non-rated pilot can't log the time in other categories. If there is no
prohibition against doing something, it is, by definition, legal to do it.
