How are you assessing this?  External viewing programs don't always show the 
necessary level of detail.  If you use trjconv -dump to drop out a few select 
frames, and diff the resulting .gro files, are they indeed identical, or are 
there small differences?

How different is the final structure?  Is there a drastic change?  Or is it just 
that the change relative to the input structure is more obvious?

If the energy is changing, then so too should the structure.
