What research? Without sources cited this is just more opinion/hearsay.
Personally, I oil my clarinets from time to time to mitigate emergent tendencies for gurgles, and because, as far I know, it might help and won't harm the wood. I'd be very curious to see this research about potential harm proper oiling could do.
Oiling the entire bore seems to reset the moisture trails that cause recurrent gurgling. Trying to apply it in spots for the this purpose always seemed a bit much to me. A periodic reset is easier and more efficient.
