I don't have an citations but I am breastfeeding (at age 40 - my infant is  
actually a toddler) and I just had my first mammogram.  The director of my  
women's imaging service simply asked me to nurse or pump just before the  
mammogram so that the breast would be as empty as possible.  She did not  inform me 
of any contraindications.  And she was apparently able to get a  sufficient 
picture of the breast - she found no abnormalities.
 
It's just a data point of one, but my particular provider wrote a textbook  
on mammograms, so I felt that the absence of a caution and her willingness to  
perform the procedure was reassuring.
