As I understand it, and again I haven't spent much time investigating this because it's not relevant to my situation, a margin/collateral call on an open position is not considered a charge over an asset. If, however, you were required to maintain a cash account, or lodge any other fund asset, with your futures/options/CFD provider in order to fund any future margin calls this would fall foul of the rules because it would be considered a charge over the funds assets. (Some of this may be relaxed when there is a DRS in place???)
