Q: Is anyone aware of any solderability issues that may exist when soldering beryllium copper parts (in this case spring contacts) to a PCB using standard Pb63/Sn37 solder paste/wire?

BeCu is not solderable without plating Cu, Sn, Ag, Ni etc. The solder joint will only be as strong as the bond strength of the solderable plating to the BeCu
