HowdyUL doesn't test with a ground at 60V for the life of the equipment so their test isn't necessarily relevant for the long term health of the equipment. It's only a slight exaggeration to say that UL doesn't care if your device self destructs under test, they only care if it hurts someone in doing so.
All of my arguments against MultiWave are the same as my arguments again indiscriminate use of balanced power. I'll try to write them in generic form for both MultiWave and balanced power:
They violates the assumptions of the designer of the equipment. That equipment isn't tested with inputs like that and some equipment which is competently designed will fail when put under that needless stress of unexpected input. The equipment isn't tested with those kinds of input and unforeseen problem could arise later if not when first plugged in... I wouldn't ever use such a feature without consulting the manufacturer (well actually for some of my equipment that I know uses a quality switching power supply I know that it doesn't care about MultiWave, then again why would I use anything but a pure sine for it anyway.)
