If the rust is on the surface it won't matter (within reason).
If the thermo-couple current must pass through the rust, in theory you have complementary junctions that should cancel.
In practice the added resistance is probably going to cause inaccuracy or complete failure.

Obviously all the above are correct also. Generally rust on any connection is never a good thing.
