Yes, this is true, especially if the router is also bridging or running
DLSW or RSRB.
I have seen a case where the DTP packets were bridged across a DLSW or
RSRB connection to another switch. Switches were trying to
setup a trunk across a DLSW connection :-)

I always use "switchport no-negotiate" when configuring a trunk to a
router. I've seen it cause some strange random behavior if you don't.

By configuring this command on each end of the link - you completely
stop the sending of DTP frames on this link.

Is anyone listening for them? Well - not sure I care ;-) But since the
trunks are also in UNCONDITIONAL trunk or access mode - I would have to
say no.
