The water vapor is much smaller than rain drops since it's carried in the air. The water vapor gets in, condenses and builds up. Now the water is too big to get out if the area is 'sealed' so it sits there. Trying to prevent water vapor intrusion in F12 booms and elements is useless so I wouldn't worry about wrapping the joints with electrical tape. Besides, it drains right out so why bother.
