I have a solution for this now (thanks to Andrew Weekes for the
pointers).

It looks like the signal is actually being picked up by the headphone
cable (not internally). It goes into the 1/8" jack and then gets
amplified back out by the headphone amp. The behavior seems different
depending on the type of phones - Sennheiser HD 600 phones only exhibit
the problem if the cable is actually wrapped around the antenna, whereas
Sony MDR-7506 picks up the signal easily. YMMV.

Anyway, the fix is pretty simple but it does require soldering: attach
two 33pF caps to ground on the headphone jack - make sure to keep the
leads as short as possible - surface mount caps are best. This
eliminates the problem for my test case, irrespective of antenna
arrangement etc.

If you're comfortable doing this yourself, I've posted some
step-by-step instructions here:
