Engine braking in traffic can be VERY dangerous. A friend I ride with does this all the time. Since I am the "fast" bike, I always follow (not lead) and he over-engine brakes all the time and sometimes it catches me by surprise. It is amazing how quickly a bike (especially a smaller/lighter one) can slow with engine braking. I think I have finally trained him to "tap the level a few times" as a warning or he is going to get rear-ended by a car one day, for sure. This is something I have ALWAYS done, even when planning to manually brake. I am a fan of those "G" sensor brake lights, although I don't really need one, since I am already "programmed" to give warnings manually.
