This is essentially a "down to earth" version of what David Ben-Zvi is saying. The object/example produced below essentially matches with what David is suggesting. I am just producing it "geometrically" to convince anyone interested that it is not a particularly strange beast and one doesn't need to know about dg-models or Koszul duality. Let $\mathbb{G}_m$ act on itself by left multiplication. Let $a\colon \mathbb{G}_m\to pt$ be the canonical map. Consider the `silly' diagram (the functor $a_*$ is derived): $\require{AMScd}$ \begin{CD} D^b_{\mathbb{G}_m}(\mathbb{G}_m) @>{For}>> D^b(\mathbb{G}_m)\\ @VV{a_*}V @VV{a_*}V\\ D^b_{\mathbb{G}_m}(pt) @>{For}>> D^b(pt) \end{CD} This diagram commutes (essentially by construction/definition of the equivariant derived category). Write $\underline{k}$ for the (equivariant) constant sheaf on $\mathbb{G}_m$ (i.e., monoidal unit). Clearly, $$ For(a_*\underline{k})= a_*For(\underline{k}) = k\oplus k[-1] $$ However, $a_*\underline{k}$ is indecomposable, because $$Hom(a_*\underline{k}, a_*\underline{k}) = H^0_{\mathbb{G}_m}(\mathbb{G}_m) = k$$ The point, from the Koszul dual/algebraic perspective, is that any situation with torsion (i.e., where you can't obtain ordinary cohomology from equivariant cohomology) will lead to this. The characteristic 2 example I gave earlier is also "torsion phenomenon" but in a different sense.
