I'm writing this report because I observed a third occurrence of this happening yesterday while holding behind two aircraft on J; short of the turn for EG.  After getting their weather reroute; the first aircraft in line on J (an Aircraft Y) was told to make the turn to hold short at EG.  Aircraft Z was already holding short #1 on EG.  Aircraft Y taxied to right of; but not quite abeam thankfully of Aircraft Z and stopped when they saw how close they were.  Aircraft Y was stopped near that painted EG box I keep mentioning.  They then asked Tower if they could move over to EH which they could because no one was there.  Pilots are used to three hold points for 17R; but EF is temporarily closed for construction north of the pad.  When they see an aircraft already holding at the northern-most point and are told to hold short EG; they attempt to hold to the right of what they think is EF.  Also; there's a painted EG box about where in their minds will put them on EG between EF and EH.  That painted EG box is for telling aircraft on L that the turn onto EG is approaching.  I think a sequence sign-in message  would be most effective.  Having seen this now on three different flights; am I the only guy reporting this?  I'll bet DFW Tower can confirm this is occurring with some frequency.
