Daniel,
this appears to be a common thread on this BB, since phenix seems to handle these things quite differently than CNS and refmac(?). A while back I had a similar exchange with Pavel about this. He pointed me to some literature which highlights some of the challenges associated with restrained B-factor refinement using medium to low resolution data. From what I understand the implementation in PHENIX is based on the ideas of Ian Tickle.
Here is also a paper I found useful:

That should give you some pointers were to look for tweakable parameters.
