it certainly is a conundrum and as you say, there is no way to tell who will react what way in advance. Personally, I think your approach just taking it on a person by person basis is the best. A co-worker once told me about her bi-polarism and with my depressive background I was fine with it but she didn't seem to be taken as seriously at work after that (whether that was due to her BP or the fact that she tended to be obsessive in meetings, who knows).
Another factor would be whether I was in a highly competitive field and vying for a higher position. If so, I don't know if I would give anyone anything to put in the con list. If I weren't working my way up somewhere I would definately be more inclined to share where appropriate.
