In this case, where the microwave cycles on and off, the longer it takes to transmit the frame (ie, a lower rate) the *more* likely it is to get partially squelched by the microwave turning on in its next cycle. Here a faster rate can be more robust since it can transmit the entire frame in between microwave cycles.
