I haven't found occasional running to cause any detriment to cycling performance, but if I was cycling at a much higher level than I am now then I might be wary.
Instead of producing a lot of raw power, I very much rely on my aerobic capacity when cycling, which running seems to compliment. I'm obviously not a sport scientist, but in my head I feel that if my power/FTP was a lot higher then more running would probably affect that, but because it's fairly average/amateur-level I don't feel like it has much of an impact.
