In theory, that bond should work.  It looks like a pretty complex system though, 
so any number of things could be breaking.  Are your bonds constrained, or 
simple harmonic interactions?  If the latter, there is no guarantee that you can 
preserve the original geometry.  Check the inputs carefully (since this is a 
very non-standard application as far as "normal" Gromacs usage goes) and build 
the smallest test case you possibly can for each interaction.
