Don't confuse indicator variables with classical
correlation coefficients. 

The maximum possible on your semi-variogram will be
where all differences are 1. That is every pair is
(1-0). And, of course, divided by 2. So the absolute
maximum an indicator semi-variogram can show is 0.5. 

Computationally then, if 90% of your data are 1s and
10% are zeroes, the semi-variogram can still
(theoretically) reach 0.5 if the 90% are all clustered
and the 10% are, say, peripheral.
