There were discussions about this on the boblist, and -- don't take me to court! -- I thought the consensus, after comments and advice by some very experienced frame builders, was that, if you do it right, and in the right place, it's harmless. I seem to recall Mark Bulgier giving his conditional approval, and you can't get much more experienced with frames than he. You might search the boblist archives.
That said, there are other ways: Shoe Goo is one, though I preferred zip ties, ugly as they are, because I didn't want to have to attempt the removal of years-old Shoe Goo from my frame, in the event that I had to replace or move a wire. I've just glanced around the web and seen various clamps that one might use, or modify to use, as dyno wire clamps, and that look a heckofalot better than zip ties, which are very ugly -- as I know, since I've used a lot of them. Fortunately, my 2 main dynamo bikes have brazed on means of routing wires. I did use electrician's tape on the folder.
