Edit: Unless it drives him berserk instead, of course. I don't know if berserkers automatically pass their morale check to continue with their attack after a repel attack is made against them (because they are wounded by the repel attack and thus immediately become berserk and have 99 morale). They probably should though (and have the increased att/str).

Hmm, the more I think about it, the more odd it sounds that morale would be the only thing that determines whether or not you'll manage to avoid a repel attempt. The most obvious "problem" is that undead, mindless beings, berserk creatures (as you mentioned) and such will completely ignore the greater reach of the opponent. While I can understand that morale might be a factor, one would assume that it would not be the only factor. Oh, well, regardless of how one might feel about that, it's probably not likely to change.
