Chris, do you really know to what extent to which the inverted W is actually taught? I can't say I've ever heard anyone teach it. Instead, I'd suspect that its use comes about due to the physiological needs for loading up the arm. For example, someone with more flexibility (or even a case of G.I.R.D.) might need to use that action to achieve a good load. If there is something injurious about this, then would it not be the underlying physiological issues and not the arm action itself that are the precursors to injury?
