Phaser resets all heteroatoms to zero occupancy unless you specifically
request otherwise, and I don't think refinement will magically take care of
that.  If you're using the GUI, click the button labeled "Modify start
model" in the middle configuration tab, choose occupancies, and enter 1 for
the new occupancy.  (The occupancy refinement will still take place.)  Or
you can just do this manually in PDBtools or the PDB editor.
