Effective Prop Plug connection termination.

I am about to print a board that is based on the propeller. It has a Amp - Tyco Sealed connector.
The header is

and the plug connector is

I am planning on potting the entire board, but I am concerned about the raw termination of the reset, 30, 31 pins. In the past I have had problems with strange things triggering the reset pin.
I was planning on just leaving them terminated to the plug header. So they would be covered inside the sealed plug but not have any connections to them unless programming, error testing ect.
For programming a different plug would be inserted into the header plug containg the connections to a prop plug. And for testing a through wire harness for most connections but including an output to the prop plug.
Any ideas suggestions? Thoughts?
Thanks TJ

I'm using a Bulgin Buccaneer 25 pin as an IP68 rated console interface (15 vga + 7 kb/ms + 3 prop). Like your Tyco part you can just load the 3 pins for the Prop for a simple prog cable. For the Bulgin I like the round hole which is easy to drill, and they have a whole lot of other connectors which fit the same hole including weird stuff like USB and BNC coax.
I like the right angle aspect of your Tyco connector, something the Bulgin doesn't offer. They do have a straight PCB version but you end up making an adapter pcb to get it in the right angle orientation.
I did look at the waterproof 'D' connectors originally, but was worried about the lack of robustness in the narrow direction. Your Tyco seems much 'beefier'.
I haven't yet seen the phantom resets you describe, except maybe once. I'll keep looking out for them.
