I'd been wondering this too. The closest I got to explaining it was ceph ships flying overhead which (esp. in crash site) sort of linked to when my vision messed up.
What codename is referring to is the fact that the first shot you take in cloak gets 'cancelled' (if you didnt know this use the sniper class, cloak, aim at someones head and fire -> you wont get a kill) and he is saying that it is this first shot, instead of being cancelled, causes the scope to go funny.
Although it seems plausible i'm not 100% sold on this as I've had the distorted scope a few times when i have neither noticed any incoming fire or health damage and have stayed alive a good time after the distortion (say 2-3 mins) which doesnt tie with someone shooting at you as you would either notice the bullets, get injured form the bullets not fired in cloak or would be dead.
I'm not saying codename is wrong just that from my experiences of it, it doesnt seem to fit this explanation all the time. :S
