(Get the code!)
If it was important to avoid a mis-click around the bottom or right side of the Dash, it would be just as important to avoid a mis-click around the top or left side. For example, accidentally clicking the launcher closes the Dash, just like accidentally clicking whatever is to the right of the Dash does. So a border around the bottom and right is doing only half of that job.
There are other methods that could protect all four sides and in a less unattractive manner. One example is a shadow, which could act as a dead area in the same way that the shadow of normal windows acts as a resize area. Another example is padding around the inside of the Dash, which has the advantage that it is already implemented.
