It requires that the network uses this "1800MHz" band at 1.7GHz uplink
to get the trouble (presumably because the victim signal only likes
17xxMHz coupling), maybe that is only difference.

It sounds like a great offer Joerg should take you up on.  If he doesn't
I'll be happy to.

One interesting thing would be stick a tracking generator on the GSM
antenna, put it near the headphone socket in a repeatable way, stick
spectrum analyzer probe on the victim net, and sweep them to get a
display of coupling efficiency vs frequency.
