I think the penalty would come in the form of a PR0 and/or a ding in the SERPS.
I haven't seen anything I would call proof; that’s why I said "speculation". I seem to remember GG making a comment at WMW that led people to believe this was the case. That and a few other posts and articles about the topic.
I don't think it flies in the face of the "Authority Site" thing. The most popular and authoritative sites in the world have outbound links to other sites.
