However, the choice of violation makes it seem like a team committing the pinning against them would be immune as well, or simply no action would be taken for robot-to-robot contact.

This was clarified in a team update, Q&A and the driver's meeting. It was made very clear that it was legal for a team to pin somone while scoring. It did not mean that a scoring team is allowed to be pinned. But I do agree, this was not very clear in the initial version of the rules.
