PS - The adverse harmonic vibration issue is not unique to constant speed props. I've seem similar avoidance bands for light singles with fixed pitch props.

Truth be known, some turbine engines have "critical speed" regimes where prolonged operation can be damaging. However, these are generally sub-idle, so the engine passes through the band fairly quickly during the start.
