The idea that anti-seize would promote over-tightening to the point of plug breakage is rediculous.

It makes some sense since the anti seize acts as a lubricant, and tightening bolts that have Loctite on them requires more torque...

I will continue to use anti-seize. I also don't use plugs with any special coatings on the threads.

Plug breakage, yes. Ripping threads out of head due to extra torque being reached because of the lubricating properties of anti-seize, very possible and happens frequently on vehicles.
