PL doesn't affect them as much as other audio tones due to the lower deviation, but it can affect them. I suspect that since your tone is fairly low (tone wise and perhaps deviation wise), the pager might not see it. Or, it just doesn't see quite enough of it to throw off the decoding. I also suspect your paging tones may be fairly high. I've also seen it the other way around - PL decoders that close when a tone is sent. Again, it depends on the decoding method and sometimes on the tones used.
