It is my understanding that the effect is one of two possibilities - 1, it cancels out the incident (or forward) power to a certain extent, this then causes the output stage to work into an incorrect match, which long term ends up in failure.
2, it comes back to the tranmitter and "adds" to the incident power, causing a similar failure.
Either way, it is not a good thing, which is why minimised reflected power is most important.
