Changing pickup covers for cosmetic reasons on a previous post made me wonder. We seem to just fit new covers on our Strats while the Gibson guys make a big deal out of either waxing or soldering the covers. Does doing one or the other or nothing really do anything?

Well the original reason for the covers on the Gibson humbuckers was for shielding, i.e., to reduce noise and interference. Plus it protected the coils. I believe the plastic covers on a Strat are intended for protection of the coils as well since they are plastic and don't provide any shielding.
