Actually Mark I have seen compressors with copper lines, usually older ones and if it does crack its not like you have gas leaking out onto a hot manifold, I have a 6 stage compressor at work that uses copper to connect the stages and intercoolers together, thick wall of course.

On the corrosion side, once copper tarnishes it generally stops or slows to the point it is not even noticeable unless there is a galvanic cell setup by a another metal. Ever see copper flashing on a roof? It will generally outlast the roof.
