Excellent observation, and something to watch for.
That's why there are specific stripping instructions for the toroid wires on
page 14 where it calls for leaving 1/8" of enamel on L2-1 to avoid just such
a short.
But even if you strip it all the way to the toroid, moving the wire away
from the solder pad for L2-4 will work fine.
