I also run one or two carbon tows down the join to fill any bridging. I made a repair panel recently with a foam core, chamfered the edge that I was keeping and didn't bother with the side that will get cut off When this was vacuumed, the carbon bridged the square edge creating something similar to what you described on the right. This panel also had a 2mm step in it on the left and you can see what I mean about have a couple strands along a step to prevent bridging
