Yes, as Al correctly (again) points out, the Vishay TSOP4840 sensors that are included in the kit and also used for the kick-off demo specifically discriminate against these type of energy sources. They also discriminate against non-modulated 40KHz sources. I've put a link to the data sheet here:
http://kevin.org/frc. The modulation scheme is discussed in
this thread.
