Except that vegetation is the number one factor in slowing down erosion. It's the best velocity dissipation you can get.
So as far as accelerated erosion goes.. if the spill had a negative effect on vegetation than it is safe to say if had a negative impact on erosion.

Which is why I said it doesn't help. I'd say the number one factor in costal erosion is the lack of sedimentary deposits. There are places on the LA coast that are growing just fine, despite rising seas and the O&G industry.
ETA: I don't think anyone is arguing that the spill was completely innocent, but it was more of a drop in the bucket compared to the overall issues we've been seeing for years.
