As long as you run the engine with clean oil for a while first, I can't
really see any harm in that. As a speculation, the only thing I could
possibly think of is that the oil might act as some sort of reservoir
collecting condensation, so that it might keep the relative humidity
within the engine slightly lower?

Defintely! I think I would even put the rotor there, just to make
entirely sure ;-)
If you really would want to make a ceremony out of it, I could suggest
the following spring ritual:
1. Refill oil
2. Reinstall fully charged battery
3. Take out plugs
4. Run the engine on the starter untill it registers a
healthy oil pressure.
5. Replace plugs and rotor.
6. Perform all the usual LBC/Lucas stuff concerning bats wings,
black cats, smoke hidden in electrical wires and so on.
7. Start and enjoy.
