Disaster has struck before--in Voldemort's reign of terror, with the "natural disasters" like the bridge and all of that, and that's when the liaison to the Muggle government needed to be used. The Muggle PM was good at basically keeping the secret of this...peculiar adviser type person, but what if a former PM, later in life, revealed everything? That breaks the statute, right? I guess someone just goes and Oblivates everyone.
The concern over what could happen when Muggles are suffused with fear is so real. SO REAL. Many smarter minds than mine have devoted studies to seeing just how inhuman people get when they are in a large group and not in their right mind. It ain't pretty and it could, like you said, be very bad for magical people.
