There is no roof over the graves.  Therefore no problem.

There is such an opinion, but L is far too much like B to rely on it.
When you get right down to it, L are Litvaks, and a Litvak bleibt a

Those who feel that way don't go in the first place. (For some reason
they don't feel the need to visit the previous rebbe, who AFAIK everyone
agrees is buried there; though who knows, maybe they don't believe he's
there either.)
