Vanishingly small - the post was deleted by Eliezer (was that what, a year ago? two?) because it gave some people he knew nightmares, but I don't remember anybody actually complaining about it. Most of the ensuing drama was about whether Eliezer was right in deleting it. The whole thing has been a waste of everybody's time and attention (as community drama over moderation almost always is).
I'd say it about as much of a risk as a self-loathing basilisk who punishes only people who supported its creation. It's wrong in the same way Pascal's Wager is wrong, with some extra creepiness added.
