Drift and dialects in successful artificial auxiliary languages?

It's pretty much expected that any language, natural or not, that spreads wide enough would start to diverge and create variations. Sometimes that happens even without spreading to a very large number of speakers or geographical area.

But given the stated objective of Esperanto or similar languages (of being a universal language that would bring disparate cultures together and make people understand each other, etc) does it in any way creates a culture that diminishes that tendency? Or is it just like any other language?

Are there any studies of that? Dialects in Esperanto for example would be an interesting starting point.
