Absolutely, RF getting in thru headphones has been seen.  If you use long 
headphone cables near an antenna, you may have quarter wave resonance on 
some band.  (Like 15 or 10 m).  Then, you are likely to have RF issues.

The problem recurs at Field Day sometimes on various club and owner rigs 
interconnected for long head phone or mike cables switching boxes.
