Maybe. Maybe not. I can't imagine the manufacturer not
testing for that, or selling the thing (for very long, at
least) if it really did any damage to on board electronics.
(Can you say, "lawsuit"?) I know that stuff is delicate,
but there are lots of grounding opportunities for the bar's
discharge.
I'd like to see some data, myself. I've been seeing these
advertised for about a year now. (I think?) If they fry the
on board electronics I can't see them still being around.
