Zero Clearance Side Seals

Just thinking out-loud here....and I'm in the middle of only my first rebuild so go easy....
What about potential carbon build-up in that corner seal slot. I see some clearance for length, but is there risk with loss of what little "side" clearance there is within that slot due to expansion and/or carbon? What would be the result of the side seal and corner seal being effectively fused together if that happened?

My swag (scientific wild ass guess) would be that it wouldn't much more of a problem. I'll have to tell you in a couple of years.
