It is the latter, quite a few thousand units out there happily sparking away without producing any EMI issues.
I'm sure the EI unit wouldn't care. My concern is what the radio receiver thinks. As I have explained in other posts, we are dealing with a variable noise floor. Even in the best of conditions it can be forced quite high by extraneous RF sources. The higher the noise floor, the smaller amount of clear signal there is for the receiver to work with - even with spread spectrum technology being employed.
I would feel better if there was a way to solder the two together. One would then need a two piece nylon containment device instead of the one piece device currently used in the photos.

Pretty solid connections there, no arcing or possibility of vibration to cause RFI. Again, there are many thousands of units out there NOT causing any issues whatsoever with any radio system that has been used in the last 20+ years.
