Yes they do, I believe it has been deeply discussed around in past threads, as it's quite controversial if this feature of the spell is thematic... 
The spell itself seems quite balanced in power nonetheless to most people IIRC - a good counter to SCs and a nicely thematic idea. To counter it you surely need high MR on your SCs (and it is necessary anyway), a special care in using SCs where the enemy can spot them, and b*astard Domes when possible  -(sorry 4 the OT) |
High MR doesn't actually seem to help. At least, I have lost several SC's with MR's in the 27-28 range. Despite what the spell says. |
