Well, my own experiences with WWVB have not included such problems.
Some years ago, I tested one of the $100 receivers (and I can dig
up the name if anyone really needs it) via interfacing it to
a noisy 8080/Z80 system in West L.A.  An indoor antenna was used,
and while it took a few minutes of moving it around to find the best
spot, after that it worked fine and the data was stable.

I haven't worked with such units since then, mainly since (as you
pointed out) they are not really all *that* accurate by themselves
(given internal delays) and true WWV accuracy was not really required
for most applications.
