First CROSSING not being scored?

I was just talking to Karthik, and he brought up a totally mind-blowing idea about how scoring for this game works. This seems really dumb, but so basic that I can't believe it hasn't been asked here or on the Q&A. The way that we read <G06> and <G07> tells me that if a robot does not move in hybrid, and then crosses the finish line at the start of teleop, they should receive two points. There is no equivalent of <G12> for robots. After reviewing some videos (team 648 crosses the line at 00:17, and blue receives no points here... this is not an isolated incident), I have determined that the scoring system is not scoring this correctly. This is a HUGE deal, and has already potentially affected the outcomes of matches this past weekend. Am I reading these rules funny? Is there any hope that the scoring system can be corrected in time for week 2?

EDIT: Since there don't appear to be any glaring holes in my logic, I have posted a Q&A to bring this issue to FIRST's attention. Hopefully we will hear the official word before this weekend.
