That means that once a robot begins opening the category C defenses, as soon as its bumper clears the plane of the outer works, you can ram them away from the defense.
I expect that to be rectified in a team update.

They should be protected under 3.1.3 where it goes more into detail what crossing is it states:
"A DEFENSE is CROSSED by a ROBOT when that ROBOT
■ starts free of contact with the DEFENSE and completely in the NEUTRAL ZONE"
So the robot is also in the process of crossing if it is not "free of contact with the DEFENSE" so the robot is then protected.
