My best guess would be that having a regular differential will make the car rotate around the cg if one of the rear tires loses traction and the other one drives the car around the cg pivot point. I know that if you have a locking diff, the car will drive straight in slippery conditions. It just won't turn very well because both rears are trying to drive the car straight ahead.
