Though I can't cite any rule, and therefore this is just an opinion that means nothing in the grand scheme of things, I don't believe this is a penalty.

Unless 2062's sole strategy in any given match is to push someone up against a bump and tip them I don't know of a ruling against it, since only strategies "specifically targeted at tipping an opponent" or something along those lines is deemed illegal by this year's manual. IIRC of course.
