Perhaps when Naruto goes Tailed Beast Mode and creates Kurama avatar, the cloak's protection might extend to the avatar itself, meaning it protects from outside threats, but anyone within the avatar doesn't have protection if the attack comes from within. Think of it akin to Susanoo, it blocks attacks, but if anyone were to enter Sasuke's Susanoo and stab him, the Susanoo wouldn't help anything while the attack is already within So you have a theory that no one thought of....umm, ok? Good theory, nonetheless. But Naruto's Tailed Beast Mode isn't like Susanoo in that regard. The cloak isn't what creates the avatar, otherwise it would leave the user and be transferred to the creation of the avatar. When Naruto creates an avatar, he simply pours in more chakra that transfers to the creation of the avatar. Naruto always have his chakra mode while in TBM, so he would still have high defenses within the avatar
