My team actually asked a question related to this on the Q & A:

Q: The official field drawing of the Sally Port (GE-16035) shows 1/4 bolts attaching the door panel to the reinforcing structure. These bolts protrude 1/2" beyond the nut and are right in the middle of the robot bumper zone. While this may have been intended as an additional challenge, we are concerned many teams practicing with the flat-faced plywood SD depicted in the team version drawings will be ripped apart when driving through for the first time at competition. Will these bolts be shortened?
A: Thank you for pointing this out. The bolts used on the assemblies are 2.25 in. long and sit flush with the nut, and the drawing will be corrected as soon as possible.

So theoretically it should be cut off flush with the nut. If it is not, I'd suggest pointing it out to the field staff so that they can correct the issue.
