Let's put the above comment into the lore a bit more. "Reinforce the 4th wall," as OC put it.

Remember entering the Queen's Chambers, and suddenly none of your abilities would work? I remember it significantly when my Excalibur's Exalted Blade instantly turned off. It seems a certain amount of Kuva, concentrated in one area (And, let's be honest, why wouldn't the Twin Queens keep their kuva trove within their chambers, in their sight and easily managable?) will cause some form of interference with Warframe abilities. A bit of Transference static, if you will.

In addition, let's take a look at the creation of the Warframes, which of course were first created by the Orokin. Machines of infested sinew and well-forged metal, puppets to be controlled by the Tenno to channel their Void energies into. They created the Warframes, originally, to use the Tenno as warriors. But the Tenno, they were not locked down like Dax soldiers. They had no link to the Kuva, the blood of Orokin ancestors, to keep them in line. So, it follows suit that, to keep the Tenno from wreaking instant havoc on the Orokin when they so decided, they would cause a Warframe to react when in presence of a large amount of Kuva, weakening them significantly. It's only a small measure, but it's what they had.

Back to the Kuva Guardians, then. Since Kuva seems to cause Warframes a load of trouble, it follows that no Warframe ability will work on Kuva, not even a little bit. It's distilled Void energy, not enough to cause trouble. Even a small bottle of Kuva on the Kesheg of a Guardian is enough to make them completely immune to all Tenno abilities, just due to the nature of the item. As for their immunity to all physical damage, the only thing I can think of is armor and some sort of Kuva shielding.

There's a lot of links to the lore, if you dig just a little bit.
