Any takers? I never heard it before. To me it sounds like a conflation of kol hamosif gorei'ah and kol hameracheim al ha'achzarim... >>

The closest I found is at the end of Yerushalmi, Terumos, ch. 5: "Just as it is forbidden to declare pure the impure, so it is forbidden to declare impure the pure" (see here http://www.mechon-mamre.org/b/r/r1605.htm).

This reference comes from R. A.Z. Zivitofsky, "What's the truth about...nikkur achorayim", Jewish Action, Fall 2006, footnote 17 (see link here:
