Happy Friday Jim! This is only a guess but one possible reason for such a
recommendation is the potential to have solder joint integrity degradation
due to gold embrittlement. A high tin content solder alloy and gold surface
finishes do not necessarily mean a gold embrittlement situation but it
would be on aspect of a solder process that would need to be kept in mind.

Technetters:
I happened to come across a solder chart from the Indium Corporation and
noticed that they do not recommend using Sn96 solder on gold-plated
surfaces. Can anyone elaborate on this?
