I'd be extremely worried if someone was relying on the water they drink for electrolytes. As far as I'm concerned, it's an old wive's tale. The food you eat should be more than sufficient for that. Stop and think about it for a moment.... Athletes don't drink water for quick electrolyte replacement - they drink Powerade, Gatorade, or something similar.
One of the older reasons for not drinking RO/DI was the lack of flouride you'd get from municipal drinking water, since it would be stripped out. How important that is to you would have to be decided on an individual basis.
Most of the more common sense taboos I've seen about drinking RO or RO/DI are more related to bacterial growth in the unit. Units designed for the aquaria hobby likely do not contain any anti-bacterial agents to prevent growth, hence their labelling "not for drinking water use". Again, I think most of the problem there can be avoided by simply discarding (for drinking water use, at least) the first few gallons that run throught the unit during each usage. Essentially, flushing the remaining water from the last usage.
