Have you used gmxcheck to see if the coordinates in md.tpr match the first frame of md.trr? If you're using constraints then these are probably applied before writing the t=0 md.trr frame, check that. You have managed to avoid one common mistake, which would be to use a .gro or .pdb file as input to -s, and not to realise that these are reduced-precision file formats and thus differences from rounding errors are to be expected.
