CPF + lightup switches

I realize this isn't the best forum for this question, but I think I have the most chance of getting an answer here.
Has anyone else experienced issues with compact flourescents when combined with an illuminated wall switch? My understanding is the switch has a neon lamp in series with the load when switched off. What I've seen is it causes the CPF to blink occasionally.
Being they are banning incandescent lights, or so I've heard I'm curious what this means for all of the illuminated swithes out there? Is the occasional flash of the CPF harmful to it?
Are there any illuminated switches which actually use the ground to complete the circuit to the neon lamp?

Not sure
You might try asking the switch manufacture. I'm sure you are not the first to have this type of an issue.0
