Wouldn't a solution be to put some kind of shielding around the Foxboard so that it doesn't emit this harmful radiation?

I suppose units with external GPS antennae are more robust to the interference, but probably this depends also on were the antenna is actually placed. I too experimentally found that taking away the EM-406 board of 50cm or more from the FOX is sufficient to get the GPS fixes again. The connection in my case is standard flat telephone wire. The GPS board is powered from same supply of the FOX and I use a MAX232 signal translator colocated with the FOX to translate GPS low output to std RS-232 level.
