I take it that your tube is finite, not infinite? I guess I'm confused at this point - there are water molecules inside the tube? I thought the whole point was to not have water inside.

In any case, if your tube is finite with the ends at the box edges, you likely have clashes between tube atoms that cause the water to start kicking around. If you have a small number of molecules within the tube, then yes, they can become unstable in isolation. This commonly occurs with voids in simulation boxes.
