I was trying to frame the issue in a more general setting to understand it better.
And my "unphysical" label refers just to not including system-specific 'bonding' effects.

From what you say I might have missed an important more concrete point: is the current
algorithm not giving atomic-charge superpositions in all cases?
I thought we had fixed this (in a zeroth order approximation) in rev 576 of 4.0, which deals with the (arguably pathological) case of severe folding (diagonal images) and gamma-point.

Are there any other cases in which rho(r)[DM_initial] is not a perfect superposition of atomic charges?
