I disagree. The risks are similar to those of disclosing a security vulnerability to a company without a bug bounty. You cannot know how litigious or technically illiterate the company will be. What if they decide you're "hacking" them and call the FBI with the helpful information you included in your user agent? Crazier things have happened.
Anonymity is part of the right to privacy; IMO, such a right should extend to bots as well. There should be no shame in anonymously accessing a website, whether via automated means or otherwise.
