Since you can't put a claim within 5 tiles of another claim, and you can't build/extend a palisade on another persons claim, I don't think it makes sense to allow a palisade to be built/extended within 5 tiles of a claim, since you wouldn't be able to ever claim that palisade anyways. The only benefit I can see to keeping it this way is more griefing opportunities.
Early world exploit: Put your hearthfire inside a cave, then hold shift to position a claim right in front of a cave. After 8 hours the claim will be unbreakable. Since your hearthfire is inside the cave, you can still get back inside, and leave, but nobody will be able to enter, effectively making you unraidable for the first 3-7 days. Enjoy
