Nothing bad would happen. Vaseline is thinner than cork grease is, and doesn't moisturize the cork properly because it's petroleum based. Cork grease is lanolin based, and is more like a lip balm - when it's applied, it doesn't move anywhere. Vaseline, on the other hand, can be used, but only very sparingly. Because it's less viscous than cork grease, it gets displaced when you put the instrument together, therefore defeating the purpose of greasing the joints.
