You didn't mention if this was in AXIS or gladeVCP - but the answer could be the same. Since you are using a 5 axis machine with rotary axis there is an INI setting to look at. Under the [DISPLAY] heading GEOMETRY=XYZA etc
Geometry sets how the backplot displays rotary movement. More specifically what order the translations are done. Beyond that I have never seen a really clear explanation of how it works, But it's easy to try different settings. Both AXIS and gladeVCL's HAL_gremlin use this, but I wouldn't have thought this would give you an offset in X only. Are you sure it's always X? If you were talking gladeVCP I would have said this sounds like loading a program then touching off in X. If you don't explicitly tell HAL_gremlin that you moved the origin, (by reloading the plot) then it plots where it thinks the origin is, leading to this offset showing.
