"Why Birds Sing" by David Rothenberg (my copy Penguin, 2005) refers to some playback experiments, but I don't think they were testing for the effects that Graham is concerned about. However, there is one anecdote in the book (pp207/8) about playback of an Albert's Lyrebird's song straight back to him, which generated a very distressed response from the bird.
Cheers
