AFAIK There is little if any support becasue BHv'BS is post Talmudic and it
has been well-established as hefsek at least lechatichila.

Hwever,frankly imho , since it has been  around 700 years as an accepted
response I don't see it as a big deal anymore to make this hefsek because,
after all,  many aspects of Tefillah are based upon Post-Talmudic [e.g.
Ga'onic sources].   In the meantime, don't do it.
