It's a good point to consider, but not a deal-breaker, I think. In fact, I'm looking at this in the Midwest, where our winters are quite dry. Adding some moisture to the air isn't a bad thing. Properly vented, an intake at the top of inner wall can draw in the warm, moist air, and return cooler air at the bottom. I'd still need to carefully consider air exchange to prevent mold.
In summer, which is warm and humid, we can remove the "glazing" to create an open-air system, as well as provide seasonal shading to prevent overheating.
