I don't know where you get this. "oscillate about the ground state"
is not a mathematical condition and I can't find any such
prerequisite in the Paper by Bornemann and Schuette.
I also don't know what you mean by "their motion can be described in terms
of Kohn-Sham eigenvalues"?
The only condition in the proof is a positivity argument on
the second derivatives of the Kohn-Sham energy wrt to KS orbitals.
