Mag length too long

If I have a 3.6" magazine feeding a 3.35" loaded round, what kind of negative issues can that cause?

Shouldnt cause any

if the cartridge clears the feed rails before it has gone far enough into the chamber to finish chambering you can get a jamming situation especially if in a hurry or gun is at funny angle.

If the magazine is loaded with care it shouldn't cause problems, unless some are loaded too far forward.

What does that matter?

Too far forward, depending on the bullet, a sharp pointed bullet like a Berger lbVLD may get pushed against the front of the mag and jam as it cannot slide forward into battery.

I am running a 3.55" round in a 3.7" box with zero feeding issues using Hybrids.

If it does hang up, you could add a block to the rear of the mag box.

I have a Kimber in 300WM that originally had a 3.4" box, I changed it out for a Talkeetna box/follower/ejector so I could seat out to 3.6". Gave me fits with bullets being driven into the top of the action, the cases were jumping out early...so I put it back to how it was. Now I have $300 in spares for my Talkeetna that never gets used. Hahaha.

Cheers.

My 6.5x300wsm in a Ruger tanger LA runs just fine at 3.05
