Does it hurt 301 redirect from 3 expired domains?

Domains have some backlinks and are aged (apart from 1 wich is younger that mine).
I read some stuff online and found what Matt Cutts says about this
There are some domain transfers ( e.g. genuine purchases of companies) where it can make perfect sense for links to transfer. But at the same time it wouldn't make sense to transfer the links from an expired or effectively expired domain, for example. Google (and probably all search engines) tries to handle links appropriately for domain transfers.

The sort of stuff our systems would be designed to detect would be things like someone trying to buy expired domains or buying domains just for links.
Not sure though if it means that who uses expired domains for backlink purpose risks penalties from Google wich is what i really want to avoid.
