The way I see it, there are three ways to clear this up.

1) Close the secret passage to any opposing robot.
2) Change G11.
3) Change G21 to clarify that you can't play D while in there (by any number of ways--though I don't think that using conflict as a verb will clear things up, seeing as that's an uncommon usage.)
They could also implement something similar to overdrive, where if the opposing robot contacts you while you're in their secret passage, it acts as a signal to pass, and you are forced to drive out of their secret passage within a certain grace period.
Personally I don't want to see the passage closed to the opposing robot, as being able to take the boulders in bound by the opposing alliance and keeping them in the courtyard makes building a shooting robot way more viable
