That's correct, my devices that are configured for 2.4GHz AP do not see the AP, even if I'm physically within 1-2 meters.
The 5GHz AP seems to be unaffected - I don't recall having issues on that frequency.

Apologies for the delayed response btw - work is busy and all that.
At this point I worked around the issue by hooking a separate 2.4GHz AP into one of the CAT5 ports of my C7000. That separate AP works, but it's hacky. It also tells me that it's probably not a noisy neighbor problem, since my devices can see this second AP on 2.4GHz where they couldn't see the C7000 on 2.4GHz. I'd still really like my C7000 to work on 2.4GHz so I don't need this extra workaround.
