Yes, this is expected (and documented, to an extent) behavior. ParmEd
van der Waals actions always act on van der Waals types rather than only
those atoms selected in a mask, with the sole exception of "addLJType".
What you seem to want is "addLJType" rather than "changeLJSingleType":
addLJType :58.Mg+ x y
will change _just_ residue 58 Mg to the new Rmin/2, epsilon values. My
wiki has a fairly extensive section regarding van der Waals adjustments
in ParmEd: http://jswails.wikidot.com/parmed#toc4
I would definitely suggest using some of the introspective commands
(like printDetails, printLJTypes, etc.) to make sure that you are really
making the changes you want to make.
