Cleavage of RNA by restriction enzymes?
This paper found that these enzymes recognize RNA:DNA heteroduplexes. Such duplexes are unlikely to be encountered in vivo. They are present when DNA is primed for replication, but these duplexes are relatively short and thus are less likely to randomly contain a recognition sequence. Furthermore, if the recognition sequence is found in the primer, the gDNA will be methylated specifically to protect it from degradation. RNA:DNA duplexes are also found during transcription, but they are also short and the gDNA would be methylated. Additionally, the transcription bubble where the heteroduplex forms is protected by RNA polymerase, which subsequently displaces the transcript from the gDNA as it leaves the elongating complex.

It's also important to note that this paper found that these enzymes don't cleave RNA:DNA as well as they do DNA:DNA duplexes and these results occurred under experimental conditions with relatively high concentrations of enzyme and substrate. The lower catalytic efficiency is likely due to lower binding affinity, which could be caused by:


presence of uracil in RNA (this was explicitly mentioned in the paper)
2'-OH presenting a steric barrier
helix shape (RNA tends to adopt an A-form helix)
