Undertensioned spokes - what are the risks for leaving these?

Perhaps counterintuitively under-tensioned spokes are at risk of breaking due to fatigue – see my comment in the post linked below and the accompanying video.

As an aside, one interesting thing I took from this video is that spokes fail because of lack of tension and the fatigue that that causes cycling in and out of the zero load condition. So basically it is slack spokes that fail (at the head at least).
