Nope. I've never heard this mentioned in any canonical source. The reason for cloaked ships being unable to fire weapons has always been simply that a cloaking device draws so much of the ship's power that there isn't enough to operate the weapons systems. (And, variously, other functions like shields and transporters, although this hasn't been highly consistent throughout the series and films.)

I am sorry about any spoilers - it's just that yeah, I'm in Australia and I thought everyone else on here would have been in a country that has already seen it.
Unless there is someone here from like Pitcairn Islands or Upper Volta.

Presumably the Scimitar has overcome the problem with the 'give away' of the massive amounts of energy that was being expended which allowed detection by a simple gas - sensor. (In TUC).

Actually, according to the IMDb, quite a few countries haven't hit their release dates yet. However, my comment was more for the purpose of mocking, given the fact that you've often been one of the first people to go off the deep end if someone so much as mentions the title of an episode w/o spoiler warnings.
