Over the past three years I've seen two fender benders result from similar pull thru parking. Once a woman turned too sharply scraping the side of her car against the rear end of the correctly parked car next to her. In the second incident a man made too wide of a turn and bumped in to the rear of a correctly parked car on the other side of the drive lane.
Maybe I'm misunderstanding the type of parking you're describing and these two incidents don't relate at all.
I'm guessing they're talking about only in lots where you can turn both ways when leaving.
