EVERY write to an I/O port (including BSF and BCF) actually writes all 8
bits.  If the problem you fear actually existed, then you would not be ab=
le
to safely use any of the other pins on the same port while the UART is
active.

The pin schematics in the datasheet will confirm that the UART completely=

bypasses the port register while it is active.
