I don't know if the back blast of a claymore would penetrate M-113 armor but it wouldn't have to necessarily penetrate in order to incapacitate the occupants. It would have to be toned down I think. But I'm no explosives expert (just knew how to use my claymore mines, not ALL the intricate details) and my experience with armored vehicles is very limited.
I guess if they properly enforce containers where the Claymore is inserted, there is no danger of damage to vehicle or crew. It's just like active armor containers, placed on the armor of tanks...
