I solved the problem but still revealed a bug in Finale. In my Windows display settings I have the background set, not to white, but to a buff/cream color that is easier on my eyes. When I changed the background to white, the TIF exports with 'whiteout' no longer had the dithered speckles. Apparently, in compiling the TIF file Finale tries to emulate the darkness of the background display color.
Does that seem strange to anyone else? (It reminds me of when I wrote a music notation program for my Commodore 64 back in about 1980. Printout was by manipulating the screen display area in memory and and sizing it for the dot matrix printer.)
