I remember something similar, Dave. When I was doing Koine back in the good ol' days, we had Greek Orthodox seminarians come to the class. Some of them did brilliantly well, because they were able to transfer their pre-existent knowledge of modern Greek into Koine. Others, however, did hopelessly because their modern Greek got in the way.
I suspect there is a similar phenomenon with speakers of modern Hebrew with regards to biblical Hebrew. It could go either way.
