Is it a good idea to "tin" wire ends with a little solder before using crimp
on terminals for D miniature connectors, or not?

Not only is it not a good idea, it's not even permitted when doing
qualified assembly for JPL/NASA flight equipment. This does assume
proper crimp equipment.

Grant,
Tinned wire ends are good for wraping around screws and setting
under screws in terminal blocks but crimp connectors are made to handle
stranded wire. When the wire is crimped it is crushed into one homogenous
mass forcing out air and gauranteeing a corrosion free joint. Also if
using a stiff joint such as a tinned wire or a solid wire the crush
stresses the wire and vibration will likely break the wire,sooner or
later, at the joint. HTH
