There is no rule against putting yourself in a situation where you can be pushed into the opponents zone, there is a rule against going into it. If another robot pushing you is the action that causes you to enter the opponents zone I fail to see how <G61> would not apply.

The actions of the opposing alliance (their robot pushing yours) caused you to violate a rule (entering the opponents home zone). Matches the scenario covered by <G61> exactly.
