Use

show _?

to see the various variables set by Jmol. Some of these are relevant to
frame changes.

What load command are you using? I think Jmol is reading the atom and bond
positions as given in your Tinker file. You sure they are being
repositioned? Jmol should only be doing that if you specify that it should.

We should be able to work with that. I guess these are not fractional
coordinates.  Please send me a couple of files, especially if they have
bond anomalies.
