I assume they are just stating the obvious fact that if you use a lot of ancillary data, then there is less bits available for encoding, and the result will be of lower quality then if there was no ancillary data present. I cant imagine that the presense of ancillary data could in any way effect the playback quality of the mp3 data that is stored with the ancillary data.
