In my personal experience it has never hurt. I also have a number of clients to whom I have suggested they contact their ombudsman regarding various issues, from examiner attitudes during the audit to extremely bogus findings. I have never had one of them come back and tell me that "gee, we wish we would have never done that".

I am just wondering if it creates animosity with the examiners. I understand their purpose, but am just wary about it.

The regulators strictly enforce the "no retribution" rules associated with contacting the ombudsman. If you ever feel that is happening, you make another call and the "boys from Washington" will quickly straighten it out. Myself or through my clients, I have never witnessed it.
