You've still got some extra side stress on the belt if the impact isn't being properly dampened. I wouldn't expect it to injure the belt unless it got to jumping, but over six months or a year maybe the stress of getting pushed up the pulleys could add up. The contrary to this is that you'd probably have noticed the mounts were bad, if they were that bad... A burr or offset or loose pulley would make more sense, just trying to think of what else if those don't pan out.
