It is entirely possible that the energy generated (EMI/RFI - from DC up into the GHz) by such an event could adversly affect RX's OR the TX's.
The more likely reason the RX's have been compromised has more to do with circuitry that is already powered up. The additional energy may exceed the performance specifications of passive/active components. It is not the radio energy (RFI), as much as the electromagnetic energy (EMI)...
