I guess Elrond had some foresight that Pippin would be a high risk as a member of the party. Mainly because of his age. My first thought was that young people generally tend to be curious and careless. Both fit to Pippin's character.
I can't help but think of him screwing up in Moria when he threw down a stone into the well which awakens the drums and the therefore the Balrog. So you could argue that Pippin caused Gandalf's death. Maybe that's why Elrond had a bad feeling about this.
Another almost disastrous incident was when he looked into the Palantir which almost gave away the whole plan to Sauron. It was only good fortune that Sauron did not ask the right questions.
One could also argue that Boromir died because Pippin and Merry were in the Company but I dont count that one.
Did he not also wake the Watcher in the water?
In what other occasions did the fool of a took put his foot into?
