While it's a cool read, the lack of inline citations in the article make me lose faith in it. There are some citations at the bottom, but they aren't inline wiki markup.
The actual effect seems to be written in the form of cause (task interruption) and effect (overestimation of time) but then takes a leap to say that the overestimation was due to frustration and failure.
With only two studies, and both showing different traits associated with interruption, it doesn't seem to be a universally accepted correlation.
