Anyone know if are there any risky implications to owning
short funds at all? - eg if they ban shorting which I read
supposedly happened this morning, is there any risk the market for
them drops away with unforseen consequences? I just got an IB
warning on something like this. After the difficulty filling them
this morning it has me concerned even though I'm inclined to stay
bearish.

I am by far no expert, but if the ban SHORT selling altogether, they may as well close the stock market so it won;t matter anyway.
