Why? The difference is just a constant (for any given system). In what
way does a change in the zero of energy change your analysis?

This sounds like something we should look into. I'm guessing relatively
few people actually use plumed with Amber (especially with imin=5), so I
don't recall having seen this behavior reported before.

Same question as above here.
