Well any time you introduce additional metals to a connection you are
actually increasing your risk of galvanic corrosion.  Depending on the
design of the connector in question there are probably some purely
mechanical concerns as well.  The connector manufacturer will almost
certainly have recommended uses.  They would probably be your best bet.  It
might end up just being a mechanical tolerance or malleability issue.

Good Luck

Subject:        [TN] Soldering crimp connectors

We have a customer who insists that we solder our crimp connectors (after
crimping).  He has had corrosion problems and is convinced that this is the
best solution.  Is this a good thing?  Are there any downsides we should
point out to help educate him?
