Can you give an example of a negotiation where this would happen?

If we accept the premise that renegotiation can't change the
"bundle-only" property of existing m-lines, I don't see how we can get
into trouble.
That is:

(A doesn't bundle, B has policy max-bundle)

A: Offer X, Y
B: Answer X, Y (no bundle)

Policy alternative 1, B tries to bundle what it can:

B: Offer X, Y, Z, W; Z and W are bundled, W is marked bundle-only
A: Answer X, Y, Z; rejects W, since it was marked bundle-only

Communication continues on X, Y and Z

Policy alternative 2, B understands that bundle-only won't succeed

B: Offer, X, Y, Z, W - doesn't bundle, or bundles Z and W with no
bundle-only
A: Answer X, Y, Z, W - no bundle

Communication continues on X, Y, Z, W

I don't see the failure scenario that rejecting the initial offer would
help us avoid.
