I suspect you're right, but this is all new to me. I also have a cyclist friend (racer/mountain biker) who insists that I shouldn't put a basket on the front of my bike because of handling. That said, she's never ridden a bike like a Rivendell, so maybe she's uninformed. ;)
Certainly a Rivendell is more tolerant of baskets on the front than a typical "modern road bike." Can't speak to mountain bikes. However, regarding handling: usually you don't ride a bike with a basket on the front the same way or on the same kind of rides that you would do with a road bike. The two could be as non-comparable as comparing the handling of a UPS truck with a sports car.
