Of course they do. How easy is it for a male coach to think (or even say), "stay out of the man's game" or some ridiculous comment like that? Again though, it's PERCEPTION. We should be concerned about performance. Perception can be overcome by consistent, excellent performance.
Back to the weight thing: I still enjoy the workout of a 2-person game, even though I rarely work one. 3-person makes speed far less important. Assignors should want the best officials on the game. If excess weight makes that official inferior (mobility issues) fine... but to not give a high-level game to an overweight official who is a great performer, that is just ignorant.
