I've also seen a car with the diff screaming stay out on the racetrack for a full 24 hour race with anti-seize in the pumpkin.

Aluminum and copper are both used as bearing materials. Many aluminum small engine connecting rods have no inserts,the rod runs directly on the iron or steel crank pin and I've seen high performance racing rods the same way. Copper is used as a substrate in sleeve bearing inserts. I did wonder about it clogging lifters and pushrods but I think the particles are small enough and I'm diluting 8oz of antiseize with 5qts of oil.I can only imagine what that aluminum 'n' copper powder is doing to the insides of the hydraulic lifters.
I'd expect it would be enormously abrasive on any moving parts--bearings, rocker arm pivots, cam lobes, oil pump gear teeth, etc.

In the oil? That's new to me.I've heard of people putting some kind of scouring powder in the oil too, but I can't recall what it was supposed to fix.

Heard about folks dumping Bon Ami (cheap bastages use Comet) down the carburetor to put some "texture" back on the cylinder walls to "stop oil burning" past the rings.
