One harmfull situation is when you pass an array[n] to a function has an argument, for example.. Usign 'sizeof' inside, will return the size of the pointer and not the size of elements on the array..
It is a "beginner's" error to confuse the size of the pointer with the size of the pointed. Indeed there are many "beginner's" errors possible in C. But it's not the same story.
I admit that I have often used sizeof(array)/sizeof(element) to mean the number of elements. But when I realized - recently - that it was an artefact relying on the compiler and not on the language, and not semantically true, I stopped. I would now prefer using a macro as you suggested, or a constant.
