Do you mean that you renamed the metal ion as MOH, or its attached hydroxide? Conventionally, the name MOH is used for hydroxide ions, bound to metals as it might be.

In the past, I've usually given metal-bound water molecules for MCPB a new name, at the time of going through the MCPB process. It creates a little more clutter in the form of additional residue templates, but the output is easier to interpret and if you do that you'll know you won't be overridden by a default parameter set.
