Summary: 


Applying the brakes after take-off is not such a bad idea.  In fixed-gear
aircraft, it prevents the kind of vibration Norm mentioned.  In retractibles,
it keeps an unbalanced tire from jamming inside the wheel well, leading to
embarassing problems during the landing checklist.

Because spinning tires have very little inertia (compared to the aircraft
as a whole), only a light application of the brakes should be needed.
