Here, you're equilibrating at 300 K...

ref_t = 500 500
and here, you're running MD at 500 K, without any equilibration in between.
That could be a problem, but more likely, the high temperature is simply causing
the structure to break down. Short helices are usually not stable in isolation,
and heating them to extreme conditions will probably accelerate this process.
The various results you're seeing with different helices may just reflect that
you haven't simulated long enough to see convergence in the structural features,
but from what you've described, I expect what you're seeing is entirely normal,
and almost predictable.
