I've heard this before, but I'm still not convinced that it is the case.

I use WD40 all over the bike to clean rubber parts and I've never had one perish on me yet.

With the chain, you're cleaning it first with WD40, then reapplying the lube to ensure the o-rings remain in good condition. I'm sure that if WD40 did perish the rubber, it wouldn't have much of a chance in this short period of time.
