Julian, We had similar problems with our memory and this variable helped to fix most but not all of these problems. The frequency with which we are getting problems with the reuse of ECSets has decreased.

You route the ADDRESS from U10 to U1, U2, U3, U4, and U5 in this order. You want to reuse this topology for another CPU-mem block. When you apply the topology to this new circuit, You get a ET error because the tools thinks that you should route the equivalent of U10 to U1, U3, U2, U4, U5. Although the traces and the memory chips are the same you are getting an error. Because the mapping is not the way you think it should be but the way Allegro wants.
