Honker, Xcelerator, Vararam, LPE, just to name a few. I have never heard of a CAI that damaged the MAF. However, if any cotton gauze filters are over oiled they can damage the MAF.

They are probably referencing some issues in the past with people who have put too much oil on the reuseable air filter elements that nearly all CAI's feature. There were some instances where excessive oil from the filter got on the MAF wires and caused poor drivability issues.
This is really not a concern. As long as you install your CAI properly and oil the air filter as directed you will never have a MAF issue "caused" by a CAI.
