Private email from the folks at NRCan indicated that having both constellations in the data would potentially result in (more) clock offset jumps in the PPP results. Remember that GLONASS and GPS are synced to different master clocks which are some small (and potentially variable) number of nanoseconds apart. But part of it may also be that their modeling of GLONASS clocks and orbitals isn't as robust as for GPS due to having less experience with it.
If you're purely interested in location, multiple constellations can be helpful, but the precision timing application is a bit different. Also, note that this is probably a non-issue for simple non-post-processed GPS PPS, as the other error sources would swamp any timescale differences.
