Chris, the CVS version of namd/charm++ work. Only that I have to comment out MPI checking in the configure file of charm++ because it fails on Bluegene/L. It is not checked in charm++ 2.2. Axel, namd/charm++ are cross-compiled on Bluegene/L because the login host uses different OS compared to the cluster nodes. I did not figure out a way to test charm++.

We've made recent improvements to startup and load-balancing.  Can you try the CVS version or one of the nightly builds of namd, with the most recent git archive or nightly build of charm++?
