Are CCD's more susceptible to reflections than film?

[ElRonno]

Digital Cameras Need Multicoated Filters
Digital camera CCD or CMOS sensors are highly susceptible to reflections - this stray light can ruin your photographs! Don't risk your valuable photos by using bare-glass filters.

Do you think that this quote is right, especially in relation to conventional photography?

No, I don't think it's correctly quoted.
It depends on what the lighting sources and shooting situation.

From where does this quote come?

Why would the same not be true of film-based technology?

If shooting directly towards the sun the photosites can be overloaded and cause some extreme reactions, as seen in a pic posted this week. The same situation could be handled more readily by film, but you would still have a reaction, but not as extreme as digital.

I remember being in car when I was young and my dad telling me that looking at shiny reflections can damage your eyes...

I tried all day not to look at reflections from that point on... it was shortlived.

...im not sure the relevance of that.

my old digital PnS manual said not to point it at the sun for "prolonged periods" because it would damage the CCD sensor.

Certainly unless you are shooting a mirror reflecting the sun, I would not worry about this comment.
