Perhaps my nomenclature was bad here - X and Y are not Cartesian
directions, they are the groups that you're specifying in the .mdp file
that define the vector of the pulling force.

Correct.

The problem here is the the groups *will not* necessarily "move
oppositely along X." Your biasing force causes a net increase in the
length of the vector connecting r_12 and r_24. That's it. Perhaps that
means one group moves and the other oscillates in place. Maybe they do,
in fact, move in different directions. The net motion of any group
depends on all of the forces in the system. Maybe your biasing potential
causes a local helical unwinding, allowing water to enter in between the
bases or the hydrogen bonding structure changes, which then causes
different diffusion in any dimension. But the biasing force only ever
applies along X.
