I'm having trouble seeing why that would be the case (with any springs if the only variable were the clearance), unless the clearance was so tight it wasn't really a clearance at operating temp...
The problem with weaker springs usually occurs at full lift as the valve train 'overshoots' the cam profile due to mass intertia, and perhaps a slight bounce as the valve seats, if it seats harshly (which should I think be more gentle with a lesser clearance).
