And IR remotes have 'always' been susceptible to interference from some
conventional and compact fluorescent lamps as I cited in my previous post
in this thread.

See the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) technical docs
from 1998-1999 referenced in my previous post and these IEEE docs:

So whether or not Dave is surprised, this is indeed what Xantech appears to
be referring to.
