Clarification is needed here on what kind of intercept we're talking about?  I was thinking a localizer intercept.  45 degrees would be too sharp of an intercept for that; 30 degrees is the standard.  The real airplane would absolutely overshoot a 45 degree intercept unless you were really far out (less sensitive localizer).

Now an LNAV intercept, yes, that should work right up to 90 degrees with no overshoot.  The difference is that in an LNAV intercept, the FMC has computed the entire course including the intercept turn in advance; it knows exactly where it's going to start turning.  It doesn't know this in a localizer intercept, it's simply waiting for needle movement.
