Yes it may damage the piston's ,etc. But not the prechamber.
Is this theory possible?

During th compression stroke, air is forced through the small holes in the PC tip. Some of the ether is forced in as well (Assuming it hasnt burned away yet from the compression heat). If it hits the 800*f+ glow plug the ether will explode (Not burn like diesel) faster than the PC can safely let the pressure out.
(The picture is of the 21 year old precombustion chamber that was pulled from my TD. Not from ether damage. This is a view from the glowplug port side. You can see the holes in the tip where the heated fuel exits. There are three larger holes on the other side.)
