Exactly, been there and done that. Wet roads present less friction. On top of that there are hidden dangers like oil spills, leafs, manhole covers, ice (when cold), moss (at least in Oregon) even painted lines...none of which are a problem when cornering in dry conditions.
My experience was about 20 mph, 90 deg right turn and before I knew it I had hit the deck and slid about another 20 feet down the road. Wet roads are slipperier  than dry ones.
If you don't mind a little road rash, helmet/clothing replacement, scratched up components or frame, then by all means lay into those wet corners with full confidence.
