No, the deck coating per se was not a particular concern.

What was a concern was the impact of brake failure on a 20 te cab, moving at 40-50kts relative, on what might yet be a crowded flightdeck with plenty of armed and fuelled cabs. Whether the deck coating was worn or whether there was "lubricating" fluid present on the surface were strictly secondary concerns.
