As Dale notes, this is technically allowed by the PDB format - however, we
do already look out for it:

nat at laptop> phenix.pdb.hierarchy carsten.pdb
. . .
  ### WARNING: consecutive residue_groups with same resid ###
  number of consecutive residue groups with same resid: 1
    residue group:
      "HETATM 9327 CL    CL S   3 .*.    Cl1-"
    next residue group:
      "HETATM 9328  K     K S   3 .*.     K1+"

We could certainly present this warning elsewhere - the question is where
would it be most likely to be noticed?
