I too am curious - if I had to speculate, maybe the crack is a high surface area for microwave scattering which means the rays escape the device so is an irradiation hazard? EDIT wavelength of microwaves is 1mm so could also be efficient diffraction Long time since I've had to think about these things... Unsure...

Microwave radiation is non-ionizing, it does not pose a cancer risk in the same sense that X-rays or UV light does. A quick DDG search found one article that matches GPs claim, but had zero citations and did not support any of its claims. I don’t know about the other claims, but the microwave cancer risk doesn’t make sense to me.
