Setting the bandwidth would affect OSPF also. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, though. You probably wouldn't be running both routing protocols on the same interface, for one thing. But if you were, then you would want them both to use a metric that's based on the actual bandwidth for the path.
That sounds like good advice from the CCIE Practical Studies book. It brings up a subtle point, in addition to the one you pointed out. The outgoing interface may have a different level of bandwidth than the incoming interface of the router on the other end of a circuit, in some implementations. A good example might be a Frame Relay hub-and-spoke design. The hub has a larger pipe than the spoke.
