It's called toilet paper for a reason. It's designed to not interfere with a septic system. Whoever told my mother-in-law otherwise is a frakwit. I haven't quite figured out why she would vehemently believe them, either. Or why that would be the thing that she would tell us to move out over. Actually, I do have a conclusion, but seeing as we are

I have encountered this belief before, and it generally stems from life with unreliable plumbing.

Oh, it doesn't make sense. But that's why they think it makes sense -- you've got to blame the faulty plumbing on something, after all.
