More often than not it seems that 'doing' Agile just means that people are supposed to have the false impression that they are working with a team... without being a team outside of meetings.

Exactly. For me, a lot of the pseudo-Agile failure turns on not having actual teams. Teams are groups of people that win and lose together. But so often, companies are structured so that individuals win and lose separately. Or the design "team" can win while the programming "team" loses. It seems like such a simple thing, but I have a very hard time getting people to notice it.
