I don't see this ever happening, nobody would put their game pieces up for grabs like that.
If a team did set up a "minefield", the opposing alliance would simply avoid it, score, and come back to midfield to pick up the tubes.
I also expect the refs to be relatively lenient with the herding rules. If you intentionally push it closer to your rack to put it in a better scoring position while holding a tube, yes, that should be a penalty. If you push it slightly as an attempt to get past it, I don't think there should be a problem.
Who knows, though, they could really be strick as to say absolutely no contact with another tube, however unlikely I believe.
