I think users know that hotspots are yellow, the rectangles are cyan in
colour, so that is an indicator to users that it isn't a normal hotspot,
so they probably shouldn't get too confused.

However I can't work out what the cyan rectangle is supposed to show,
I've got some as well on the A380, and it's offset like everyone else
says.
