Shooting jacketed bullets after non-jacketed

I read somewhere (I think it might have been in my Stoeger Cougar manual) that you should always clean the bore thoroughly after shooting non-jacketed lead bullets before switching to copper jacketed ones. In some way the copper jacket will cause the lead from the non-jacketed bullet to do damage to the barrel. Is this true? I've never had to think about it before I've owned a .357 magnum where I might be switching between .38 special wadcutters without a jacket to some .357 magnum load with a jacketed bullet.
