Ok. So this happens anytime you have an open ended coax.

No. All connectors that connect the inner and outer edges of the shield.

I'm trying to understand the mechanism for this. Are you suggesting that this
is unique to UHF connectors due to the serrations?

The problem is in the way you connect it. If you use a PL-259, then you mix
the outer and inner currents at the connector, thus “polluting” the signal
going into the radio. But then the same thing will happen if you add a choke
with connectors.
