The display doesn't lie. Off means off. Button clicked in means O/D on. Off makes 4th gear a 1:1 ratio.

Maybe if you hold it at 6000 RPMs for miles and miles, but taking your car to the top of each gear every now and again isn't gonna screw it. So no, every now and then turning off O/D and going near 120 won't hurt the tranny.
