Somebody else addressed this issue very well - perhaps Bob Meyer. As long as part or all of the metering system is dependant on the prism then light entering from the rear will affect the photograph.
I've heard this same problem addressed on the Nikon, Contax and Pentax lists. Taking your eye away while the camera is on a tripod is the most natural thing one can do at that time. But it also costs in terms of exposure.
