I've not had a problem, but I use synthetic lubricants all the way through. I've had good results with both Alisyn and Hettsman synthetic valve oils. As a general rule, most folks say not to mix 'real' oils with synthetic ones and I seriously doubt if there is a chemist alive who will guarantee the results one way or the other. The real problem seems to be the moisture (among other things) that might be introduced into the horn that can alter chemical compositions. I am certainly not an expert. but at the same time, I'm not afraid to try different things. With trial comes knowledge. You can alway clean 'em up and start over again!
