The observation by Jobo (and others) was that though improper or insufficient
washing of reels loading became more difficult. Some of the surfactants (found
in wetting agents) can indeed accumulate (Triton-X, for example, is a phenol)
on the reels but can be removed by detergents in washing. Many of colour film
final rinses contain formalin--- or a product that degrades into formalin--
but some like Kodak's E-6 use formalin in the pre-conditioner.
With paper, however, we don't have any reel to walk-into and even traces should
not pose any problems.
(One should also note that many commercial developers contain substances such
as Triton-X).
