It seems to me that such a tunneling event would be far more likely
if the hydrogen nucleus tunneled into the host nucleus bringing along
it's own electron as extra baggage. I think the prospects of that
would be greatly enhanced by a dense electron environment in the
lattice, but that is just another way of coming to similar
conclusions regarding the nature of an ideal lattice.
