If I happen to hear a QSO in progress when I'm checking for my
downlink on, say, FO-29, I move further up into the band and continue.
I might miss some potential contacts but I'm not in anyone's way.

Let me clarify a little. Previous to SatPC32 being the ubiquitous way to
operate the transponders, people tended to spread out much more on the
linear sats. CW was generally in the lower third to maybe middle, and voice
was often spread out over much more of the passband. Now...I love Sat PC32,
and I like full Doppler tuning, but just because the program defaults to the
middle of the passband doesn't mean everyone should operate within 10 KHz of
there.
See

tml?sort=3&o=13
Spread out and use the VFO! There's no reason to pile up like sardines in
the middle. Maybe even (GASP) edit the doppler.sqf file to put you elsewhere
in the passband to fine tune things at the start of the pass? Got a
schedule, or operating from a rare grid? Let everyone know where to look
(i.e. 25 khz up from the middle) and save yourself and others some QRM?

I may be mistaken but wouldn't instances like this be viable candidates to
notify an ARRL Official Observer about? They are there to help educate
people about proper operating practices and nudge others who are pushing
the limits.
