The tape will prevent the window from freezing to the rubber seal. When it does freeze, the window won't drop the 1/4" or so when you open the door and consequently you won't be able to close the door. This can also damage the window motor.

I use another trick. I carry a small plastic putty knife in my jacket pocket and run it between the window and seal before I open the door when there's frost on the car.
