You will have seen that the manual also says:

The force
on particles i, j, k and l due to the force on the virtual site are 
computed through chain rule
derivatives of the construction expression. This is exact and conserves 
energy, but it does
lead to relatively lengthy expressions that we do not include here (over 
200 floating-point
operations). The interested reader can look at the source code in vsite.c.

Perhaps you should try this.
