What appears in a visualization program is irrelevant.  They all have algorithms 
designed to guess what's connected by distance search, or some variation 
thereof.  What's definitive is the [bonds] section of the topology.  If that 
says there is a bond between the two atoms in question, then there's a problem. 
  From the .rtp and .hdb entries, I can see no reason why pdb2gmx would make a bond.
