The cluster routine does not "alter" the coordinates per se so there must
be some mismatch,

try

trajin prod_0-10ns.mdcrd 1 2 1
trajout test pdb

and look at these. If PDB number 2 is messed up, then it is a prmtop
mismatch. Alternatively, perhaps molecules have "shifted" due to periodic
imaging and you need to image prior? [Note also that the average
structure may of course have funny bonds since motional averaging will
lead to not representative structures.]

For the "structures" from the clustering, if you looking at a trajectory
(not the pdb's), box information could be absent.

Note also in that clustering command the space in the cluster mask may
not be tolerated.

 cluster out test-out representative pdb \
         average pdb averagelinkage clusters 5.0 mass rms :1-123.CA
