Door insulation in a passivhaus - in particular pocket door

As you might be aware, most passivhaus internal doors leave a decent strip of air gap below them, for ventilation reasons. 

But my telescopic pocket door from eclisse is taking this to a bit of an extreme - when 'closed' there is a 20mm gap between the door planks (not even mentioning near the floor)

Is there anything we can do here? Maybe some 'strip' system at the far front of door 1 and far back of door 2:

Or will this not structurally improve things because there are too many other air gaps?

Frankly I'm surprised these doors are designed in such an 'open' way..
