The concern isn't about the content of the paper. I don't think there's anything that could imply that we did anything wrong in the B2 analysis.

The concern is more that some outsiders might not realize what the paper is actually about and mistakenly post about e.g. new combined results from BICEP2 and Keck.

I'm not sure I understand the concern. Is it really just the presence
of the words "BICEP and the Keck Array", or is there a more specific
concern that people will say there's something wrong with our beam
analysis? I tend to think that the blogosphere is well enough
connected to various people in the field to find anything that's in an
SPIE talk or proceeding. I don't see a problem with putting the
proceedings on arxiv.
