Does this give you heel strike problems?
I assume you mean toe-clip overlap, not heel strike? If so, no, it hasn't been a problem. From the chart you link to, the diameter of a 650B x 38mm wheel = 660mm while 700 x 25mm = 672mm, so we're talking smaller.

If you mean heel strike, I'm not sure how that's related, but I don't know much about touring bikes.
