Hi,

As you've seen in
http://manual.gromacs.org/documentation/5.1/user-guide/mdp-options.html#energy-group-exclusions
such exclusions are only for efficiency, which would make negligible impact
here. And anyway the bonds in your molecule probably generate nonbonded
exclusions within that molecule from the nrexcl moleculetype setting.
