I'm currently running an NVT simulation to do further equilibration. When I looked at the system, though, there didn't seem to be any dishing or bubbling. The only part of the solvent that looked a bit thin to me was where I might have expected the solute's periodic image to be.
However, I'll see how the NVT looks on completion, and possibly try again, before getting too concerned.
Cheers,
Ben
