    Couple of possiblities I can think of:
    1) If you're referring just to the external layer on the same side of the board as the connector, then the connector body might be touching down on the board and if it's metal it could eventually penetrate the soldermask and short the external traces together.
    2) EMI (Electro-Magnetic Interference) between the connector and nearby traces.
