It can make development a pain in the ass if you're working on multiple coins at the same time.
If there's a bunch of repos forked from each other, github will only allow you to have one of them hosted on your account at a time. If I wanted to work on Florincoin and Bitcoin (Florincoin forks back to Bitcoin through Litecoin) at the same time, I would have to setup a new account (or an organization) to host one of them (or you could fork one of them into a branch of the other, but that's just a mess).
Really, if you're changing a project in a way you know won't ever get pushed back to the original, you shouldn't be using forks.
If you want to add bug fixes from the coin you based yours off of, you can do a pull from that repo into your local repo and push back to github. That's the best way to do it regardless.
