The Rampart blueprint protects the Bombard from self-damage
Here is a Bombard with Overdrive active and a Rampart blueprint shooting an enemy door. Next to is another Bombard with Overdrive, but no Rampart at all. They are all inside the Garrison radius, if that makes any difference. The Bombard with a Rampart blueprint attached doesn't seem to suffer self-damage, while the other does.

OK I needed to learn that the Bombard attack only triggers on hit.
We made now sure the effect is applied already when it fires, which should fix the problem.
