As long as they are not simultaneously touching a tote (which is in contact with the chute) and the chute door, it appears at first glance this would be legal.
This would satisfy the following rules, as well as significantly speed up the loading process I would imagine.
Thoughts?

My feeling is that the reason the human player zone is still an area and not a volume is such that other human players can pass totes to the human player in the human player zones, and similar tactics involving the other human players.
The intent is almost certainly not to allow for cooperative chute-loading between human players, where one holds the door and the other is loading it, as that defeats the purpose of the entire chute and chute door system.
I hope teams don't abuse this, because I could see the GDC re-defining this as a volume, thus rendering some other cooperative human player strategies illegal.
