Ok, I'm not Tom, but yes the radioactive 55/1.2 has a yellow color cast
that is noticable through the viewfinder, so yes it does affect the color
balance. Old 50/1.4's also used a radioactive element and will give a
yellow cast as well, but since they only used one radioactive element
(the 55/1.2 has two), it's not quite as bad.
Remember that not all 55/1.2's are radioactive. I don't remember for
sure, but I don't think that any black-nosed 55/1.2's have been found to
be radioactive, and I don't know if any silver-nosed non-radioactive
versions are around.
