Yes, this shows up in cases when large parts of a molecule are
disappearing or appearing, so in your case from either end-state
extrapolating to the other. This is also happening in absolute
transformations at low lambdas. I guess this is a feature of the
softcore function in use.

BTW, are you aware that you have different charges (+1 vs +2) at the
end states?


Cheers,
Hannes.
