Thanks for the answer guys, I know the theory about differing leakage causing the series caps to form an unequal potential divider.

Being the pragmatist I am I can only say I've done this on quite a few occasions with no problems. My question was perhaps not presented as accurately as it could have been. I was really querying problems with ac conditions.
