It was the hot tip way back when to help stop the pins coming out. Personally I tried it and still had a failure and stopped using it (although I do currently have heat shrink on).
I do think though that the comment about stopping the crud getting in is a fair one.
To my mind the key is meticulous preparation when rebuilding – make sure everything is thoroughly clean including screw hole threads. I use Loctite 7063 cleaner on the threads and the grub screws – although I normally use new screws every time. And a small dab of Loctite 243 on the grub screw thread and tip.
