Does anything bad happen if you use lead based solder to service RoHS
compliant boards, like the K3?

Jon,

    Unless you have the proper equipment (special tips for example) and 
training to use lead-free solder, then leaded solder is actually preferred.
Most importantly the leaded solder will likely result in more reliable
joints/connections.
