No matter who initiates the contact, it is still contact, and I believe that the robot defending the secret passage will get a penalty for contacting in the secret passage.
As long as the robot trying to get to the secret passage is not repeatedly hitting the robot trying to intentionally draw fouls against the defending robot, they will not receive a G11, but the defending robot will receive a contact penalty.

Bingo
The rule basically provides a protected zone, otherwise why have a secret passage at all.
A team can go into it but at their own risk.
