When I saw it at first in the game I was surprised. That surprise was quickly followed by some laughter. I thought it was brilliant. Ok it breaks the immersion a tiny bit but I don't mind it at all, it's a minor detail and it does not stay on the screen very long. Plus it's only in the secret areas and as Holy Sock already mentioned, those areas already break the 4th wall with the little music and the huge yellow mudokon head. I honestly did not think this could be a problem for anyone at all when playing the game.
And contrary to what some people here say it's exactly what Oddworld is all about. It's about the little guys bonding with each others in order to try to survive in a world currently ruled by the big guys.
