It seems like they are attempting to use a greedy algorithm on a problem which very obviously has local extrema.

Yep. You'll end up with a lopsided allocation, with one or two allocations holding a very large percentage of the total allocation.

Distributing the allocation weights could help, e.g. with ensembling, regularization or some other kind of penalty.
