My best guess is the the longrange vdw correction term is a part of the "PME"
code, so that you are getting this in one calculation but not the other.
Try setting vdwmeth=0 in both runs to see if you get the same results.
I don't know if your force field was parameterized assuming such a long range
correction or not. Leaving it out would lead to a slight change in the
density of the system, but it would depend on the force field to know which
one is "better".
