Ubertube pre-match placement

During our (only!) practice match at the Oklahoma Regional today, we were told that we couldn't place our ubertube on the ground touching our bumper; it had to be leaning up against the side of the robot. I wasn't watching all afternoon, but it seemed pretty clear from the matches before and after us that they were enforcing this pretty religiously.

My understanding of <G06> is that it can be touching any part of the robot, in any way, and from what I've seen of other regionals this is how it's been interpreted. Has anyone seen or heard this "leaning ubertube" interpretation before, or have I missed something?
