True. I had +/- the same experience. Due to the size limitations of my lot I 
need to 'cross polarize' between 80 and 160m. I had a working 80m dipole and 
added a 160m dipole, which ruined the 80m resonance and I never got 160m 
working (resonance not to be found). Now I have an 80m vertical and a shorty 
160m dipole, within 10m of each other and no problem at all (not even in 
SO2R @ 1kW).
