the cockpit pressure will be a bit different to the static and will change when
any ventilation vents are operated,
which means airspeed will be not quite accurate. Couple of knots either way. 
Sometimes
cockpit will be lower pressure and exhaust fumes get sucked in through
the flap slots or gear lever slot. I used to notice it when flaps  were full
down.

it is but certainly better than a blocked static vent on the wing.

I discussed this recently with the LAA and they didn't see and issue with 
leaving
them unconnected in non-pressurised aircraft.
