powdercoating and lugged steel
does the baking involved in powder coating affect the brazing in the lugs? anyone had a lugged steel frame powder coated?

No, the powder coating won't affect the brazing, but word from the pro frame builders is it covers a lot of the shoreline of the lugs and doesn't look nearly as nice as wet paint.
