I would recommend replacing the coating on those two locations when you are done. Have no idea where to get some commercially, but what you want is "silicone conformal coating". Made (industrially) by Dow Corning, among others. I would be surprised if Superchips didn't do this. If they aren't - they should be!
The problem is that over the long term, unprotected electrical circuits tend to "grow" dendrites of salts that fall out from the atmosphere, or "tin whiskers" (especially on solder alloys containing tin and less than 1% lead - like most commercial solders). I've seen SEM photos of this, they are a big problem in electronics, and they can cause shorting between the parallel solder bridges.
Not sure what would happen if they shorted. It's also something that could take years to become a problem. It's still good advice when dealing with the PCM. Don't want it to shut down at 80 MPH on the highway, unexpectedly.
