Hi Eric,
The failures were in the solder joints, and or devices had matching pad geometries.

How big were the rectangular pads? Were they of the same area as the circular pads they replaced on the PWB? Presumably the failures with both circular and rectangular were at the PWB side of the solder joint, not the device side??

I have a paper in SMI sometimes in the early '90's [Bell Labs management would not let it be published at the time] with the data. The reason for the rectangular pads , by the way, was smaller possible pitch.?
