NJ2L concludes a good discussion of coax leakage with:

I submit that this factor is only important in co-frequency
situations, where antenna coupling would be much more significant
anyway. In any other situation (e.g. adjacent bands), the bandpass
filtering in the receive chain would serve to reject those signals.
Or am I mistaken?
