One of two possibilities:

1. VMD is trying to be too smart.  The program determines "bonds" from the 
distances between atoms.  If atoms come within a "bond" distance, it displays it 
as such.

2. That is actually the same water molecule, careening across the system and is 
about to cause an explosion.  Be mindful of LINCS warnings.
