Well - A and B are meant to be flags to show there are 2 conformations
of a particular unit. sp they arent appropriate here and may be muddling
things up.

On the other hand you shouldnt get any repulsion between pairs of atoms
whose added occupancy is <= to 1.0

Is that always the case for your 2 scenarios?

Try removing the A and B flags and see if that is better.
