Al- I've never seen the schematic and doubt that I could fully interpret it if I did so I'll concede there is no specific engineered protection in the design. That being said, I still believe there is an inherent tolerance to this condition in the design of the controllers, whether intended by the designer or not.

I would run them during testing and so long as everything works fine, run them in competition. Just be weary that if you begin to have trouble at the competition that there is a possibility it is due to a damaged controller.
