It would. The 2013 rules state "at least 8 in. of BUMPER must be placed on
each side of each outside corner" (R22).
However, the redefinition of the bumper rule (which is on balance a
very good thing) apparently allows for an unconventional interpretation. The corner protection requirement specifies 8 in of bumper on each side of an outside corner, but does not specify that this 8 in must be measured along the bumper backing. (See attached.)
In fact, because the definition of frame perimeter continues to permit a
skew polygon, multiple corners' 8 in dimensions
need not even be coplanar, nor parallel to the floor in any given orientation.
