To be specific, the new FAQ for 7.12.1 applies (i.e. how infantry are grouped), but 5.11.2 doesn't apply.

Basically, spillover is random enough that it can affect a vehicle and its riders differently, whereas the area of effect for direct fire is large enough that it affects a vehicle and its riders in equal intensity (though not in equal effect, due to possible different defense values).
