The biggest problem with over tightning a belt is you can wear out the front main bearing. The crank can actually bend and you wear the front side of the bearing down - I have seen it before. I suppose the same is true for the supercharger, it can't be easy on it.
Having said that I know people who tighten the crap out of the belt and have never had a problem.
