I can attest that this is also a problem with the Autek. I was using my Autek analyzer to tune an antenna at a multi-op contest station that our club was setting up. As I was tuning the antenna, every once in a while, the readings would just go crazy. I started thinking that my meter was beginning to fail until I noticed that the meter would start acting funny whenever one of the other stations was transmitting! :) Everyone got a good laugh out of it.
