VMD always defaults to a triclinic representation (since that is what is stored 
in Gromacs by default) unless the PBC is wrapped with -pbc mol -ur compact.  If 
VMD truly produces the pseudospherical shape, then trjconv was invoked somewhere 
along the way.

I don't understand this statement.  You should also note that a periodic box has 
no "outside."  Perhaps it would be useful to post images online.  If you choose 
to do so, please follow bullet point #4 here:
