All cars driven over their limit or abruptly enough to upset weight balance will spin. The 911's rear weight bias and poor suspension design (pre 964) tend to make this rotation less catchable. 964 and later versions have all tried to tame this design trait.
I think the reason for this 'myth' came from people not used to a 911. They would tend to go into a turn way too fast, lift while turning in, and not realize they would already need to start catching a slide before its really felt. Very high speed corners require much higher skill level in a 911.
930's are a different story. They can easily out-accelerate their cornering ability mid-turn and I think it is this trait that catches most people. By necessity you need to either go off or try to catch a lift throttle oversteer.
