 From my own personal experience, sadly, that is the case.  A brief outage 
of the wireless causes ssh to disconnect.  Although I never (read NEVER) 
have that issue, I have seen lots of problems with such issues at a 
clients.  There is interference generated at the shop that outs the 
wireless long enough to cause terminal emulators to disconnect.  I'm not 
saying that it is acceptable for this to happen, just saying that I've seen it.
