Open transition switching does create all sort of potential problems on the supply. The addition of pwer factor correction can exagerate those problems.
I have not seen a recommendation as you describe, perhpaps you can give us more detail and we can comment in context.

In the Eng-Tips forum, I have been involved in a similar thread (thread237-129693) that deals with the same issue. One of our fellow posters has asked a pertinent question as to whether having open transition starters anywhere on the same circuit as the PFC caps would pose a problem.
Your thoughts?

If static correction was applied to an open tranistion starter, it would be very easy to effectively over correct the motor in star connection or in low speed connection and this could result in resonance during the open transition stage. This would happen if the correction was permanently connected to the output of the delta contactor.
I would suggest that the best way to control the capacitors is with a separate contactor that closes after the transient occurs.
The ideal application of static correction will use a separate contactor and detuning reactors. This is not commonly done, but gives much higher protection against the effects of over correction and harmonic currents.
