I suppose it's not about "jamming" but rather "accidental overlap" with future trajectories, i.e. another mission may pass through the axis between DSN-station

I suppose it's not about "jamming" but rather "accidental overlap" with future trajectories, i.e. another mission may pass through the axis between DSN-station and comet and the signals will mix.
Be aware that the beam is conical, so even if the pointing is exact within a few fractions of a degree, the further away you are from the DSN-station, the wider is the coverage area of the beam (and the lesser the signal strength, of course).
