What does <G61> say?

<G61>
The actions of an ALLIANCE shall not cause an opposing ALLIANCE to violate a rule and thus incur PENALTIES. Any rule violations committed by the affected ALLIANCE shall be excused, and no PENALTIES will be assigned.

So, assuming that the ref sees that you were pushed into the opposing alliance's zone, you wouldn't get a penalty. However, refs are human, and thus do miss things from time to time. If the refs see your robot in the opposing alliance's zone and none of the refs see that you were pushed into the opposing alliance's zone, then you could end up with a penalty.
