Fraser doesn't pay me enough to speak for him, but I've been practicing this ventriloquist act...
As I recall it has happened before, to UT as well as the BA pages. Back in the day, not long ago, when both sites and the BAUT Forum shared the same server, the effect was usually quite noticeable. Since the services have spread out a little, one being slashdotted has not so much effect on the other(s).
When asked for comment in times previous, Fraser said something along the lines of visibility being a good thing. Visiting eyeballs present a value, even if they put a strain on things. It's a nice problem to have.
