One reason I wouldn't charge a battery in a camera, even if I could, is that it is not unknown for Li-Ion batteries to swell as they age and/or during charging. I recently found a Bluetooth headset and decided to charge it, quite quickly the battery swelled and destroyed the casing. A battery doing this in a camera would be a serious problem, it isn't as if you can pull the battery to bits to get it out, if you try it is very likely to catch fire!
I am not sure how tightly the battery fits in the Z6 but I don't suppose there is much clearance. I did have a battery become very "snug" in a Nikon compact camera so this isn't theory, it does happen. It is less likely with a new battery but new batteries have been known to catch fire (JAL at Boston). I'd rather lose a battery charger than a camera. Your camera, your choice.
That's a fair concern, to be honest, if they do so in the battery grip I'm not too fussed, if it were inside the camera, that'd be crap. That being said, I've never had that happen outside of 'standard' AA/AAA batteries.
