typically give notice so that you don't burn bridges if potential future employers contact your past employers

This is it, it is just a curtesy thing. I had an employee give me a two week notice and proceeding to spend the next week throwing hissy fits and bad mouthing me to other employees and then just finally quit when the other guys told him to just frick off.
Two week notices are a double edged sword, when you turn one in most blue collar jobs tell you to just pack your shite for safety issues. A company that is near me had a guy turn in a two week and they were going to let him work it out. He claimed he hurt his back while driving a truck and sued them. He turned down a 50k settlement and ended up getting 100 to 150k from them and they no longer let guys work out their two week.

Personally, I couldn't give two shits what the opinion of a former employer was of a perspective employee unless said employee asked me to call them.
I mean they left or are leaving the position, so either there was some conflict, lack of pay, etc that lead to that separation. So why would I want to opinion of some jaded a-hole?
Industry references are much more important. The relationships you build with those you do business with are a direct reflection of how you handle your business.
