I do not think so. Titlebar/frame decoration attraction is one of the
new features, and I personally like it alot - it simplifies stacking
windows in cascading order.
What I can do - I can add this commented out by default - with short note.

Problem is that with this newly fashioned Extended Window Management
Specification ( formerly GNOME/KDE compatibility specs ) applications
are allowed to request different features, even if there are no entry in
database. That includes AvoidCover as well. Wharf requests it always.
Now, AfterStep - being nice window manager - allows you to override it
in database :
Style "Wharf" AllowCover
Note that each flag in database settings has its antipode: Icon and
NoIcon, Sticky and Slippery for example.
