Maybe as a note for any interested but unaware. In gromacs, the middle of the box is always the middle of the *rectangular* box defined by the first three numbers in the last line of the .gro file.

For the record: you have almost certainly had problems with PBC. mdrun
will always place molecules 'in the box' (see manual). If your complex
happens to be on the box edge, one molecule may end up at a different
side of the box.
If, instead, your complex was in the middle of the box, as probably
happend during your second setup sequence, pbc will not affect it, at
least not during EM when molecules tend not to move much.
Note, that for different box shapes, the 'middle of the box' may not be
what you expect.
