On your test page, I still see the effect after issuing

By "your test page" I think (I HOPE) you are referring to that set of
jar files I zipped up
<http://www.stolaf.edu/people/hansonr/jmol/test/jmol-new-proto.zip>.
Is that right? OK, looks like I forgot to upload a set of jar files to
my prototype directory from my last edit of April 6. Thank you for
pointing that out, Frieda. I've regenerated that zip file if you are
interested in further testing of it. "set windowCentered OFF" is
required to see the camera-move effect.
Regarding the increase in zoom available by turning perspective depth
off, the question becomes whether perspective depth can be switched on
and off without causing too much distraction for the viewer. I think it
can be managed with careful scripting (i.e., switch on/off when zoom
level is 100, not too much higher). Of course it would be optimal not
to have to turn off perspective depth.
If the molecule has a lot of depth, there will be quite a significant
"jerk" to the model, but beyond that not a big change, particularly,
as you say, if the zoom isn't too large.
Rotating around a zoomed in selected set with perspectivedepth off will
presumably be very similar to doing so in Chime (since Chime had no
perspective depth, I mean), so once the switch has been made, the
rotation will feel 'normal'.
Did Chime have the equivalent of "set windowCentered OFF"?
