This is the expected behavior for a zero-gap crystal: the dielectric
constant diverges.

they are equivalent[*], as long as you provide correct data; but, if you
specify the lattice parameters and atomic positions with the proper
symmetry you are less likely to run into trouble with symmetry in poorly
defined crystal structures.
