I'll take a crack at answering my own question.
If the center of mass is not equidistant from all four wheels, then during conditions of acceleration the wheel(s) to which the CoM is closest will see a greater effective inertia. If there is no (or minimal) acceleration, the only effect would be an increase in rolling resistance which may or may not be significant depending on the flooring material and the wheels.
