This is still very weird. I suspect that I don't understand what you are
doing, and am missing something in your very limited description. Running
a molecule through tleap and saveAmberParm doesn't change the input
coordinates: if you have a boat shape at the end, you must have had a boat
shape at the beginning. It doesn't depend on whether the parameters are good
ones or bad ones, whether the atoms are known or unknown, etc.

Are you using SHAKE for the water? Is there the "extra" H-H bond in water
that the TIP3P parameters assume? Both of these are required if you use the
parameters for TIP3P water. (It's the Lennard-Jones parameters of the oxygen
that keeps the hydrogens from merging with nearby molecules.
