is there any evidence (or anecdotes) showing that use of pop-ups on a landing page hurts SERPs?

Are you referencing bleeding pagerank from your homepage with a link to a popup?

to clarify, i'm wondering if a pop-up that appears upon entry to a page hurts the indexing and/or SERP of the main page (not the pop-up).
