Hi
Yes, the stray magnetic fields can cause problems. The
RF shouldn't be an issue. It might be a fun experiment
to place a floppy in one to see if it gets thermal
damage. Not only the magnitron that has a strong magnet
but also flux leakage from the power transformer that
is used to produce the high voltage.
