Sometimes the wallpaper isn't on really securely, and any moisture of any kind, applied directly to it can cause it to bubble or come away from the wall at the seams. But, then again, it depends on what you want the finished product to look like.
It doesn't take all that much time to remove wallpaper if you do the proper preparation and use the correct tools.
