I see no reason why AVRs would be more or less susceptible than other 
similar chips.
Mostly, it's a matter of proper PCB layout, managing where the currents flow.

I use the AVR in a couple of applications now, where we are gating 3-10A 
currents on timescales of 300uS to 2mS, without any emi problems.
Of course if you do the ground management wrong, you can make pretty much 
anything fail.
