I don't recall either 101st or CL} trying to (or being able to) FR5 each other back when two OC factions disagreed strongly in the past.
Actually Omi brings a really good point. The way Corsair and Outcast pseudo-houses were made to have 1 IFF and NPC faction really turns the official faction into a totalitarian dictatorship that can take the keys away from all the bases that belong to that pseudo-house. You anger the guys at Malta and you become red to bases as distant as Sigma-13 and Newcastle.
EDIT:
I think somewhat similar things were experienced with every single ZonerZonerZoner drama as well - every single freeport is under the same IFF.
