Harmless from kernel point of view, but iptables assumes that this is true when decoding a ruleset. iptables walks the dumped blob from kernel, and, for each entry that creates a new chain it prints out rule/chain information. Base chains (hook entry points) are thus only shown when they appear in the rule blob. One base chain that is referenced multiple times in hook blob is then only printed once.
