No, I see no signs of that anywhere in my experiments.
The issue is if the HP5370 internal signals are synchronized to the
signals you're trying to measure, then you're in trouble.
I saw the same kind of phenomena running the HP5370 on its internal
OCXO and feeding the HP3336 ref-in from HP5370-ref-out.

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
