Well actually it is not unheard of for mixers to mention a sort of
reverb from sound bouncing around inside a zeppelin...particularly the
Rycotes since they are rigid.  I think this would be extremely hard to
discern in a robust natural environment, but I'm not syaing it doesn't
matter.

On the scale of things to worry about, I'd say it's pretty darned low.
