It's not clear how the tool behaves on gVCF data. The notation is probably simply ignored and harmless but there may be implications for the interpretation strategy. For example, if a second hit is potentially obscured by a non-sequenced region, we may still prioritize the heterozygous variant in a recessive gene.
