Shertex-
Please see this recent thread which shows some aluminum head damage from green coolant use.
http://www.peachparts.com/shopforum/diesel-discussion/340416-purchased-used-om603-head-has-significant-erosion.html

Based on the damage I see on the head I bought, yes, using the wrong coolant (or not changing the right coolant frequently enough) could lead to head gasket failure.
