If the CCA detects 802.11, then I suppose it would backoff from
that. I'm not sure it will detect 802.11 though. If I understand it
correctly, CCA will try to receive 8 802.15.4 symbols and if it can,
then call that someone transmitting.

I suspect that 802.11 co-existence is supposed to be "handled" via
channel selection (ED scan) and route formation using LQI.

What I've typically found in most implementations is that they ignore
as much of the 802.15.4 spec as they can get away with.
