If you are involved in an incident, you DO want all other electronic equipment turned off (beacons to receive).
I did some research into this, and all the avy peeps I talked to either;
1. Knew about the interference, but not why. I was told it was being studied by experts even higher up the chain.
2. Or didn't know anything about it, and went to work looking into it. Some I heard back from, others just let it go.
At one outdoor training session where there were instructors who hadn't heard of this (and didn't think it could happen, but couldn't be 100% positive), I was able to produce/prove interference by radios . There was a variety of beacons/radios available to test since this was at a Family Day ride/BBQ our club put on.....and quite a few folks there.
