It's not covered, yet, but I can't see a reason for allowing your steering arm anywhere but your bar? We're talking hands, not leaning, they're treated separately (rightly so).
Grabbing the fence (whatever) is a silly thing to do in any respect... you've just lost control of your bike and now your hand/fingers can be easily be broken if someone checks you.
Leaning on something is fine in my opinion (goals included), for me it's less about cheating and more about keeping control of your bike (and safety to an extent). Most goals will (should) move if leaned on too much.
