«If I use Miltenyi paramagnetic beads for positive selection of cells, i.e. beads remain on the cell surface, does that influence nucleofection results?»

No, it seems that the beads bound to the cell surface do not have any influence on nucleofection. Larger magnetic beads (i.e. > 1µm) may disturb the nucleofection process and negatively influence mortality and efficiency.
