@Rene,
yes, the main reason to disallow them is because it probably create polygons that are not valid.
KLC rule cannot really fix that: if the segments are created on a grid on mm, and the footprint put on a grid in inches, it will be not so easy to create a good board outline.
However the algorithm that recreates outline polygons from segments and arcs needs only segment (or arcs) ends that are near, but not exactly at the same coordinate.
Think also a outline is not necessary the main outline: it can be a hole inside the board.
