It's not technically an inductive pickup for a DC ammeter, but that's neither here nor there. (I think they generally use a hall effect sensor, which detects a magnetic field; an inductive pickup only can sense a change in the magnetic field, which makes it ideal for AC use but not very handy for DC.)
I would not expect any problems at all. With a (digital) shunt meter, the main concern I think would be destroying the shunt through excess power dissipation; the higher input voltage to the meter, within reason, should not cause any damage in most cases. An analog meter movement may be a completely different story, though they're still often relatively robust.
