It's the sharp edges of the holes in the metal that can damage the insulation. Same problem with the flush metal backboxes if you don't fit grommets, even the plastic pb backboxes will take a chunk out of a cable sheath. Plasterboard backboxes in metal frame walls should have fire insulation surrounds, presumably you're insulating the walls between the plasterboard.
