I suspect your contamination is the result of silicone that is
impairing the coating adhesion.
My recommendation is to oven bake the boards (assemblies?) overnight
at around 80DegC. If my suspicions are correct, your coating adhesion
problem will disappear.
I am basing this on your comment that a ROSE test showed "no ionic
contamination" - that I do not believe, low maybe but no.... Can you
tell me what value was read?
