That's the way the pre-60K seal goes, so I'd guess that's correct for later
cars as well.

Sorry, can't help there.  My pre-60K door has holes to within 1/2" of the
rear edge.  However, these seals are only to stop water getting in the car,
so perhaps no seal is needed at the rear of the door.  When driving in the
rain, there is some spray thrown upwards along the front of the door, by the
front wheels and the air escaping from the engine compartment.  But it
doesn't seem to extend to the B-post area, so perhaps the factory just cut
the seal short with the curved doors.
