Yeah, if you use the official Nokia High-Efficiency charger that came with your N900, it uses less than 0.03W during idle load (fully charged battery). Unplugging will prevent this 0.03W but there is no harm to your battery.

I charge my N95 and N900 overnight every night, and have forever, and never had any problem.

Also check here, the N900's charger has 5-star efficiency rating according to Nokia:
