Yep. Any move that hits multiple targets will get a 25% damage reduction.

Guts prevents that and gives a x1.5 boost in attack power when inflicted with a status ailment.

Right on the nose.
Guts overrides the attack drop from Burn and provides a boost instead.

Well, the point of Guts is to give an attack boost when afflicted with a status. It would be kind of a nil point if one status overrided it. Guts doesn't affect speed, so why should it negate the speed cut?

Besides, Quick Feet does just that
