Some dump valves are diaphram based and the vacumn on the induction system stops them from closing completely because of this you always have an air leak and the car idles badly

The diapragm ones are no good for the reason above. The bailey type use stroing springs which close off totally and eradicate any idle problems.

As said, the diaphram ones open at a lower vacuum pressure and make an air leak which you can't have on an air flow dependant fuelling system.
Even Piston type ones have their effects on MFI although its not always that obvious what its doing to the car!
